CURRENT MISSION

To live, learn, listen, and be one with everything. To let go. To love without holding back. To find meaning. To celebrate!

ABOUT ME

Trying to figure out how to train the next generation of students to take charge of making this planet a healthy, sustainable place to live. I have been on a long journey to find out what I can do with myself to make the most positive change for the future of our amazing planet and all of the organisms that reside upon it. I believe in love. I believe in the goodness of people. I struggle to find purpose in the mundane. I like being on the go and "doing" rather than sitting around. Sunshine and a gentle breeze make me happy.

PHILOSOPHY

Transformative action. You create your own reality, think big and grab your dreams. Its never to late to do what you really want to do. Non-violent change, top-down and bottom-up. Shades of gray. Communication is key. Do what you enjoy, but don't hurt others!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I listen, I cook, I laugh, I appreciate, I try my best to be fully present and learn about my hosts and what they care about. I am open to doing just about anything, as long as it doesn't hurt anyone.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have been lucky enough to meet and stay with many wonderful people. Couchsurfing has been an essential part of the fun and education that I'm experiencing in life. Couchsurfers are without a doubt some of the best people I've met.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have seen jaded teenagers believe in themselves for the first time.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can make friction fires - with a few sticks, no matches. I have a lot of "green" knowledge. I can give advice on all sorts of outdoor activities and pursuits. I know lots of team-building games and activities.

I am a great cook! If I stay with you for more than 1 night, I will offer to make a meal.
