CURRENT MISSION

I am stepping into the unknown right now. Heart and eyes open.

ABOUT ME

Good food, great conversation, beauty, art, walking, singing, sitting, breathing. These are all things I enjoy. I work hard at being present and open. I like to get to sleep before midnight, but when I am traveling, that is more flexible.
I am contentious, funny, can be both loud and quiet.
I am enjoying learning how to be honest and clear in my communication.
I am excited to be on a bit of a sabbatical this year, and to take some time to explore the world a bit more.

PHILOSOPHY

oh..... i don't like writing these things down, they seem too fluid for works.
but let's say this:
waking up to this life i am living.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am starting out here with the wish to travel, and I am sure when I return I will start to host. I just got a new couch!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Once while traveling around Halifax (Nova Scotia, Ontario) I met a well travelled PHD student, who invited me to his amazing little house on the ocean. He was a sea kayaker, so as part of the stay, i got to kayak in the ocean! amazing! He asked that I repay him by offering my home to others, and show the same hospitality. That was my first introduction to the spirit of couch surfing! A decade before I knew about this site!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once did a one month silent meditation retreat. No talking for a whole month! I have to say, that for an extrovert, this was one of the wilder adventures I have taken. Crazier than many far away journeys. I think the inner world of hearts and minds are as interesting a journey as any outer one.
