CURRENT MISSION

To meet as many fabulous people on this planet as possible and experience lots of fun, adventure, culture, and connection. I'm all about expanding my mind and spreading joy in the world. We all have something beautiful to share & offer.

ABOUT ME

I am a nomad, free spirited, happy, open minded, ridiculous, and I love to laugh. I am a lover of life and diversity. Carpe diem is my motto for living. Music, dancing, nature, meditation, fitness, and traveling are some of my biggest passions. I like people that are fun, think outside of the box, and have a silly sense of humor. I dig rock climbing, jogging, and Bikram yoga. In life I'm all about being my own flavor, not conformity. Life is too short, we must enjoy.

PHILOSOPHY

Enjoy the celebration of life!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

The travel community is so much fun! I learn all kinds of new and fascinating, if not entertaining things from fellow travelers. So many people have shared their time & homes with me when I've been traveling, and I love to be able to do the same for others. I'm happy to show you my city any time. The connections I've made with people from around the world through Couch Surfers is amazing!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My experience with Couch Surfers has been fabulous!! I've meet so many lovely people. It's such a beautiful way to meet like minded people for all over the world.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love everything form rock n roll, to electronica (like breaks, drum & bass, trip hop, & electro), reggae dub, blues, alternative, classic rock, indie, grunge, hard rock, industrial/goth, funk, classic rock, acid jazz, world /afro beat, and roots reggae. I always love being turned on to new music.
Books: Pema Chodrin, Jack Kornfield- I love reading western buddhist books with some humor thrown in, also I like biographies of my favorite musicians. I just got done reading one on Jane's Addiction, I also love funny & twisted books as well, dark humor. Hunter S. Thompson, Jack Kerouac just to name a few.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of my favorite things I've done was swim with sea lions in the Galapagos Islands. It was in a natural environment, not one of those things you pay to do. It was so amazing!! It totally blew my mind! Under the water I thought to myself-If I die tomorrow, it's all good because I have lived a fabulous life!
I also had the pleasure of teaching English to Tibetan refugees when I was in Northern India. My students were mostly monks and nuns. They were so lovely. It really changed my life to spend time with them! I think I got more out of it then they did. I love the energy and kindness of Tibetan people. They are so joyful.
Also I got a chance to go to Senegal and work on rebuilding two schools for homeless kids. It was a community based project which turned out to be amazing! The whole community got involved including the kids. We did it together. Hard work but the outcome was priceless and I really loved connecting with the locals. Such sweethearts!

Teach, Learn, Share

I practice meditation often, and I'm always willing to share this if you are interested. I find it so soothing for my soul. I think it's human cat nip. To learn: teach me all about your culture, I'm always interested to learn something new. I'd like to learn more about photography and rock climbing as well.
