CURRENT MISSION

To discover, love, heal, and grow... and help others do the same.

ABOUT ME

I am piecing together the ways of the world with each challenge I face. I enjoy being active and creative! By nature I am curious & observant of details. When I am passionate about something I become extremely motivated, and immerse myself in that which drives me! A sedentary lifestyle is not for me...I currently have a job (only 2 more weeks left) making audit phone calls and sitting at a computer for a long time and it sucks the life out from my eyeballls.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is movement! Life is breathing! Each day holds endless possibilities for discovery and adventure. We've got to quench our thirst for life by getting out there and making connections with those around us! We must strive to be conscious of our surroundings and warmhearted towards other living organisms (humans, animals, and plants alike).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

At the moment, my living arrangement does not allow me to lend you my couch...but I will gladly host people when I move from the nest!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have couch surfed once in Portland and had such an amazing time. I love the idea of people really opening themselves and their homes up to one another, creating this beautiful web of interconnectedness...everyone has something to offer and we can all learn from one another.

I have another CS account that I was unable to access because of technical issues with CouchSurfing...I had a few more friends and comments as well. CLICK HERE TO SEE MORE REFERENCES AT MY OLD PROFILE

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies I watch depend on my mood...but I like movies that don't follow the typical hollywood storyline.

I haven't been listening to much music lately, just soaking in the sounds that surround me. But I like an eclectic mix of music from other countries, electronica (four tet, aphex twin, boards of canada, ulrich schnauss), hip-hop (CunninLynguists, RJD2, wu-tang), classical, anything whimsical (Nouvelle Vague, Andrew Bird, Cinematic Orchestra, Sufjan)...

Lately I've been reading a lot about enzymes & eating raw, yoga, and dreams.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Cliff jumping in Cinque Terre!

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach/share: I can share with you a bit of yoga, lend a helping hand in the kitchen or be a good listener.

Learn/share: I'd like to learn anything you have to offer! I am up for anything you'd like to do together...but don't worry if you haven't much time to show me around because I don't mind flying solo.
