ABOUT ME

I am an avid traveler and a full "liver" of life. I enjoy meeting new people to learn how they create meaning in daily life which adds to my database of understanding in this existence.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people on the ground level and to detour from the standard and unadventurous path of sterile hotels or even AirBnB. I like communal situations.

Music, Movies, and Books

The 100 year old Man who climbed out of the window and disappeared - I love this book. Shantaram another favorite. Interstellar film. Radiohead and anything new that sounds nice.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I traveled with 80 teenagers to help a school in the region of Chendu, China after the earthquakes of 2008. On the trip, in a smaller group of kids and I we were led to a magical place in the rural mountain side where I witnessed 8 teenagers wide-eyed and wonder-struck from the beauty of the everything and nothing they were experiencing. It brought tears to my eyes and continues to bring joy to my heart.

I also walked by myself through Portugal on the Camino De Santiago (Portuguese.) It brought new insights about my intuition and strength.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach about photography if someone would like a technical lesson. I am happy to learn anything new if you have something to share.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook! Almost all places I traveled I tried to take a cooking class and/or asked a lot of questions of the locals.
