About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To spend the next year exploring New Zealand from North to South.

ABOUT ME

A free spirit who got grounded for several years and thinks she may have forgotten how to fly. Going to dedicate this next year to remembering and
getting back to my true nature.

PHILOSOPHY

This is always changing and evolving as I change and evolve as a person. What I've learned so far.
Karma happens, maybe not today or tommorrow but what you sow is what you reap. The journey is brief, so be happy, love your life, and follow your bliss. Stop complaining and blamming-just be the change you want to see in the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Unfortunately, I am unable to host
any travelers at this time but will happily play city host/tour guide for folks passing through the area. There is a lot of beauty here but it sometimes take a local to get off the beaten path to find it.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My recent trip to NZ was my first experience with CSing. Now that I have ventured down this path, I am looking forward to future CS adventures.

Interests

Too many interests, too little time. A nutshell would be to spen as much time in amazingly beautiful places, doing one of the following things:
kayaking,hiking,camping,snowboarding, sailing or surfing. Also beginning to love the quest for spiritual growth and personal development achieved through Kundalini yoga, meditation, chanting, learning, healing and truth seeking.

Music, Movies, and Books

Current read:

"Power of Intention" by Wayne Dyer
"A New Earth" by Eckhart Tolle
-Yes its part of Oprah's book club which my turn folks off immediately, but it truly is an amazingly helpful book to be reading at this time of evolutionary consciousness raising.
"The Power Of Now"
"Eat, Pray, Love"

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
