CURRENT MISSION

To gain better understanding of the world and myself through exploration.

ABOUT ME

I enjoy laughing until my cheeks hurt and shakin' my groove thang. Exploration is essential as I thrive on new experiences and finding beauty in the world. I love to sleep under the stars and wake up with dew in my hair. I like to envision a better world starting with self transformation and community action.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe in living my life on my own terms and I'm not afraid to take risks to pursue my happiness. I love the freedom of not having too many material possessions to hold me back. As a member of the glitteratti, I live to love deeply and make the world a more sparkly magical place.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I was pretty active with my local CS community in Portland and have helped plan and set up the CS camp at the SOAK festival.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have couch surfed in several countries and states in the US. I spent 5 years living on the road but before that I hosted my share of couchsurfers in Austin, Texas. I met many awesome people via couchsurfing throughout my travels in Southeast Asia and Australia.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hitching all over Australia and never staying in a hostel or hotel, sleeping on the beaches and out under the billions of stars in the Outback and waking up to see kangaroos jumping up canyon walls.
