About Me

I am an outgoing, positive person who lives life in gratitude. I care deeply for our earth and all her beauty. I believe I am here on this planet to help in many ways and do what I can, when I can:)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I LOVE life:)) and strive to live it to the fullest. I keep an open heart and mind and crave adventures and exploration. I come from a tiny town in the redwoods by the sea and have always wanted to travel the world and help in anyway I can. Since I had kids young, I haven't been able to do as much traveling as I had imagined I would have by now... but.. now they're older, making it easier to get away:)

Interests

Healing arts.. The human bodymind/ soul fascinates me. I have been studying bodywork for 10 years now and still have so much to learn! Exciting:))
I love to surf. The ocean is my cathedral. The way the sunlight reflects brilliant sparkles on a glassy day.. being immersed in the elements.. and of course the thrill and connection with the waves.. all drive me to the beach on a daily, for at the least a check:)
I also love to dance. I started taking classes at age 3 and now teach the kids in the after school program. It's awesome to watch them glow from the great energy that dance can induce. A true freedom of expression.
I could list many others.. but it just comes down to the fact that I am truly interested in life and all it has to offer...
