My life has read like a good, adventurous page turner. Recently I have built a tiny house/recording studio in Asheville to settle down a little, but have spent much of my adult life traveling the world on various missions and for different reasons.
I own a superfoods and chocolate company called Mandala Chocolate (www.mandalanaturals.com) I am a pianist and a composer and write music (https://amorphosmusic.bandcamp.com/track/smoothing-the-edges) and am an ecologist working on conservation of cloud forest in Guatemala (www.forestprimeval.org). I teach Slackline and Acroyoga with the Yogaslackers and live in a forest paradise called Mandala Springs.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have been the recipient of generosity during my decades of travel. Now I want to reciprocate.
