ABOUT ME

UPDATE: I am a massage therapist and yoga teacher on a small river cruise in the PNW. Life is crazy. I sort of live in Albuquerque also.. It's where I call home. I crave a strong and healthy sense of community trust and dependence, which is a large part of why I moved here from New York.

In Albuquerque I work at the Ayurvedic Institute and am very interested in systems of holistic health. My life is not composed in a very linear way, but I'm glad that my interests push and pull my life directions quite organically.

PHILOSOPHY

I mean, like, nothing is standstill
and nothing is abstract.
The wings of a butterfly
cannot take flight.
The foot on my neck is part
af a body.
The song that i sing is part
of an echo.
What is left?
-Assata Shakur

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couchsurfing here and there in the past, some really wonderful hosting in Binghamton NY and now Albuquerque.. I should really make a journal of all the great folks that I've had the pleasure of hosting!

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Grown a garden. Isn't growing your own food the wildest miracle?!

And best couchsurfing coincidence: I ran into a former Hungarian surfer from my house in New York at a hostel in Malaysia, 4 years later. Crazy!!

教，学，和分享

I can teach and share cooking, yoga, gardening, playing tennis, life stories, music, and introductory concepts to Ayurveda. And I always share bottles of wine.

I'm currently learning spanish, so any practice with that is welcomed. But the best part of this is that I don't really know what I'm going to learn and share until it gets down to it, right?
