ABOUT ME

Started with math and linear thoughts, black & white, rules. Then, went artistic, London, theatre, Espanol, children's music, chaos, concerts. An Illogical Song. Now, swingin' back, chemistry, calculus, professional theatre, Arts education, guitar pickin', singin'-a-storm. All the while, I guide people down Class V waterfalls. YEEEEEEEHAWWWWWWW! I survived the Tsunami in India (picture of me and Indians on my profile), and did much relief work, studied with the Dalai Lama, Ammachi, a Zen Master, and a Tantric Master. I've performed on world tour, but I also love the Pacific NW!

I am artistic and passionate.

PHILOSOPHY

I am very sensitive about the WHOLE truth. Above everything, please give me the WHOLE, ENTIRE truth.

Earth, Enlightenment, Guitar, Theatre, Rivers, Truth, Tantra.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Interests

I'm hoping everyone I meet is beautiful, inside & out!

I'm very lucky - independently wealthy.

Love flying (I'm a pilot), rafting (whitewater river guide), producing music/film/theatre (producer).... exploring the world.

Like I said, I feel very lucky... and grateful.

I'm super close with my parents, niece, nephew, brother, etc.

Been to 40 countries, survived the Tsunami in India, and lived with the Dalai Lama.

I particularly love tropical beaches & relaxing.

I do Arts, lots and lots, professionally, internationally. I invest as I go. In Life. Love working with children. Love saving the world. Love letting go and flying to Guatemala or New York. At the moment, I am a producer and performer at the performing arts center downtown on Broadway.
