ABOUT ME

Mel Blue Moon ~ I'm based in California. I fill my time with adventuring, awesome conversations, yoga, fire spinning, flow arts, aerial acrobatics, partner acrobalance, biking, hiking, dancing, music, breathing, nature, holistic food/living & learning. I'm about to embark on a solo journey across the world ~ Fiji, New Zealand, Australia, Thailand?, Vietnam?, Myanmar?, Laos?, Ireland, Portugal?, Morocco?, then back home to Burning Man.

PHILOSOPHY

I appreciate the fuck out of my life and I live it as such. I love, learn, teach, heal, have fun and do what motivates me and what helps the communities I find myself in. (Also, Legend of Zelda.)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm a doer. I like to make connections happen. I go where life takes me and CS is a great way to get myself into unexpected situations. Similarly... when I get to be a host again, I would love to make that happen for others =]

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Hosted lots and lots of surfers at the co-ops I lived in. I've crashed on lots of couches/floors also, but never been on this website. Hosting has brought me wonderful new best friends, stories, eye-opening experiences, curiosity, and life. Surfing is a bit more unfamiliar territory, but I'm eager to chart it.
