CURRENT MISSION

B here now, enjoy the moment while preparing for the future, re-establishing my Canadian residency.

ABOUT ME

I'm from a tiny town in Canada, which was great for a kid to grow up in, and when I left I lived in some of the largest and most amazing cities: Toronto, Paris, NYC, LA gathering experiences to make up for the first 18 years. I am an artist at heart, kinesthetic person, lover of beauty, functional design;, fun and frivolous sometimes, and serious and down to business when necessary. Music and dance lover. Not tech savvy enough but working on it.

PHILOSOPHY

I am super sensitive so require downtime for daily meditation. My personal philosophy comes from many various disciplines and philosophies...basically live and let live. Treat others as you would be treated. What comes around goes around I am into GREEN, recycling...what comes around goes around. Choose love over fear. Be aware of what you say and think for our thoughts and words are creative. I am inspired by the mystery and synchronicity of life, and the universal forces that shape it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Stay positive and expect the best possible outcome.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

The service, is an awesome idea. I lived in a big house with 8 people, for 8 years in Miami Beach and we hosted about 70 people over the years, from all over the globe. It was so interesting to have people show up unannounced and stay for days, months, one chef from Greece stayed for 2 years. It was the best life education ever. I look forward to exploring and using this network of friends.

Interests

I am interested in consciousness, feeling good and supporting others to do the same, with my work and holistic lifestyle. I am fascinated by the workings of the human body/mind/spirit. I like drumming and dancing and good music...rock
'n roll, world music, anything that has a good dance beat, soothing and relaxing music in the background. I like to go to the theater,art galleries, thrift stores and flea markets... hanging out with my 10-year old niece. I love going to the beach (lived in Miami Beach for years), swimming, and walking on the sand. I like to eat organic whole food and do some cooking, and will clean up after friends when they cook. I like to write and watch movies and TV at night after the day is done. I love to be in nature and the indoor/outdoor lifestyle that we have in CA and FL. I really like hanging out with dear friends, sharing stories and thoughts. I like meeting conscious people, and like the feeling of accomplishing goals and supporting others in achieving theirs, and I also really enjoy being present in the moment and doing nothing, just being. I love learning, am a perpetual student, working out in many healthy and fun ways, and facilitating classes brings out the best in me.

Music, Movies, and Books

Good, smart, intelligent writing and exquisite cinematography attract me, too many movies and shows to name. I like most styles of music, and admire musicians who create beautiful music. I like to sing and play percussion and drums for fun. I like to write more than read fiction, like to read books to get information, and for educating myself. I like to read magazines and look at the photos. I like comedies, romantic comedies, documentaries, foreign films, classics, and anything about dance.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sailing from Miami through the Caribbean to Jamaica and back, swimming with wild dolphins, star gazing, hanging on for dear life in a major storm, snorkeling in many gorgeous reefs, feeling the sun and wind on my body, swimming with sharks and other sea creatures. so many amazing memories, but whatever I am doing in the moment is the most amazing experience when I pay attention.

Teach, Learn, Share

They say we are all teachers so I am open to learn from everyone. I do go for the best teachers when I am paying to learn something from someone. Love people who can teach from life experience, with humor and humility, and know their stuff.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Chi Kung exercises to heal and balance energy, mind and body. Hands on healing bodywork. Stories, laughter, good vibes, drumming, dancing, listening, and fun.
