A California transplant, bound only by an oven and a curious spirit on the beautiful island of Oahu. Voracious learner in the study of life. I dream of eating street food on a different corner every month, chasing sunsets over mountains and horizons where I don't understand the words people speak, being a peaceful visitor on unspoken land.... I strive for self-education and pursue spiritual growth.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet friends that need a home in a foreign land and to find a home when I'm in their shoes, meandering through this huge round playground.

Interests

I like peering into all the things! I love deep dialogues over drinks; books, beer, and bacon; dancing; down for all things nature and adventure!

Music, Movies, and Books

Open to it all! Any tunes that gets my feet moving and soul smiling.
I'm a sucker for The Criterion Collection and profound formation of multiple words that make my heart sing!
I have book ADD so I'm reading The Heart of the Lotus Sutra, Moby Dick, and Pablo Neruda- always.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It's a continuing thing- but I'm trying to do this amazingly mysterious, heart wrenchingly beautiful thing called life.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to weave hemp bracelets and make banana pancakes. Would love to learn what you're willing to teach, and most importantly share laughs and story. I want to learn how to do things.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good food, hugs, laughs, Nichiren Buddhism, and books! I live simply so I can share that as well?
