About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To uncover what Life, Real life has for me, beyond my sometimes limited mindset/experiences.

ABOUT ME

I'm a poet and educator. My main occupation is to be a vessel for love to move through and to other people in the best ways possible.

I also enoy playing guitar and other instruments, reading, growing, laughing, and singing a tune every now and then. Ah! I'm also a motivational speaker.

I'm really into God and learning to be. I'm really into love and life and all the good things. I'm really into wholesome. I love wholesome.

I'm learning to deconstruct the institutions within me.

I love people. And anything i can do to help, i will do.

I'll love you for you. And if you ever need me i'm here. And hopefully, if you get to know me, my actions will speak louder than these words ever could. Love you. And god bless.

PHILOSOPHY

What do I know? What can I know? Is it really all about knowing, or is it about loving? Is knowing facts streaming through the brain, or the feeling of acceptance and belonging both given and received?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Not much at all. Many of my friends have done this and I'm excited to give it a shot.

Interests

I like things that rend the heart unto remembrance.

In all forms of media, books, movies, poetry, the human body, art, nature, life.

I follow that which allows love to grow.

  • writing
  • poetry
  • movies
  • music
  • religion
  • nature
  • spirituality

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I like music that helps us to remember love. Of any genre. For me content is most important, but melody and sound can heal in and of itself. (Nahko, Tobe Nwigwe, The Avett Brothers, Ayla Nereo, Trevor Hall, Zhalarina, Satsang, Mike Love, Cas Haley, Tribe Called Red, Tribe Called Quest, and so much more)

Some Recent Movies that I've Loved: Moana, Finding Ohana, Collateral Beauty, Oldies but Goodies: August Rush, A Beautiful Mind, What Dreams may come, Pay It Forward, Toy Story

Some Recent Books I've Loved: By The River Piedra I sat Down and Wept by Paulo Coehlo, A course in miracles, Native healer, the time keeper

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

This morning I woke up and took a deep breath.

That..... was amazing.

Teach, Learn, Share

Life. Experience. Knowledge. Whatever we can learn from eachother, I am confident that we will.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A different perspective, some creative and introspective conversation, spiritual talks of peace, incited talks of revolution, learning, always learning, an ear for crazy ideas, sounding boards galore. I can also share my poetry. And a good word.

Countries I’ve Visited

Czech Republic, England, Haiti, Italy, Netherlands, Virgin Islands, British

Countries I’ve Lived In

Italy, United States
