Hello!! My name is Mandey and I am a practicing artist, healer, explorer, dancer, writer!

I love connecting with others. I have worked in psychiatric hospitals and mental health facilities working with people of all ages and leading workshops on healing, health, art, mindfulness, self awareness, self love, and rediscovering passion and life. I am currently a traveling artist attending artist residencies around the world! I am working on a series where I focus on becoming one with my surroundings through imagery as well as movement and energy. I document these through photographs and videos- which you can see on my Facebook page, Mandey Lund, Artist!

I so look forward to connecting and learning from so many amazing people!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am currently traveling to Australia for an artist residency! I would love to connect with wonderful lighthearted people! I will be staying in Sydney for some days!

In general, I am on couch surfing to be a contributing and alive human. I want to provide space for travelers to explore and I want to be one of those travelers. I want to learn all I can in a safe and loving environment. I want to spread my gifts, stories, talents, and love all over the world- from one connection to the next. It really is the small moments that make magic happen.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I keep thinking of so many amazing things!

The first one that is screaming at me is my day job right now- I am a zipline guide in a forest! I zipline all day!! In Indiana, USA.

I'm going to list a few amazing things:
I lived in New York for a while and studied with some amazing performance artists.
I traveling across the country by myself and went to Burning Man- which was by far one of the most amazing things I've done.
I have been going to healing retreats- which are so incredible and full of connections and love!
Oh! I know! When I was in Switzerland- I did yoga on the swiss alps then I went skinny dipping in the water down below! SO ALIVE!!

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to teach about creative living, creative arts, I can offer any form of art guidance, intuitive healing, meditation, dance, play games, explore movement.

I would love to learn how to play the piano or any musical instrument, how to cook your favorite meal. I would love to learn anything you are passionate about that you would like to share!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I would love to cook and clean. I come bearing gifts! I can offer creative art workshops on any art form you are interested in! I can walk dogs, pet cats, take out the trash, help you redecorate if you'd like, intuitive energy guidance, small energy clearing, go shopping for you, and others upon mutual agreement!
