CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I was an elementary school reading coach in Nola for 4 years, and now I'm training to be a yoga teacher/ESL teacher and digging deeper into my artistic/musical fabric to see what I can make of it. I want to explore the world, my self, people, languages, and myself in the world. I am passionate about a good many things, including alternative routes to education through the arts and music, my bike, yoga, DANCING, positive vibes and higher consciousness. I just started playing chess, and believing in the wild dreams that come from my wild heart.

I practice peace honesty and gratitude to an African reggae rhythm. I am GOOZY!!! I know what I means to miss New Orleans. And I bet I like you I just haven't met you yet.

PHILOSOPHY

Live in the present moment, and cultivate gratitude for everything! Loving and forgiving yourself makes you a more joyful person, and enriches relationships. Be as goofy as possible...i talk in accents quite a bit, and often tell crass good natured jokes. I love my friends, they are the best gifts! And I am grateful to my family, for always supporting me!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Share stories, experiences, travel! Meet other bright wild souls. Haha
