About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To be me, express, surf, dance, music.

ABOUT ME

I’m loving and flexible. I enjoy dialogue and to dive deep with others.

At home I have a very clean lifestyle, eat quality healthy food.

I enjoy pushing limits, and finding mine, and then edging them out a bit more.

As a couchsurfer: I am tidy and clean. I clean, cook, clean up after myself. I like to be with community and share spaces.

Astrologically: I came in with a Taurus sun, Gemini Rising and Pieces Moon. I am acquainted with my Human Design, as a Projector. And I am into the Gene Keys too.

I realize their are so many perceptions shaping reality so i do my best to practice the 4 Agreements.

I’ve been a public school special educator on and off since my early 20s, K-12th grade. Now I do some private contracting in education gigs to bring in money while I shift more of my pie to my passions.

I’ve been working with an awareness of alignment and positive feedback loops which I’ve been carrying out through projects and personal work under a project I call RE3Generation.

I’m interested to know what feeds you and your world.

I practice ThetaHealing and incorporate it with my massage therapy as well.

In Thailand and Cambodia I started two businesses with hemp from the hill tribes and made coconut oil on the coast in Sinhanokville . I carried the hemp project back to the US in 2012, and started Hempy Scrubby, a dry brush and washcloth made from handloomed hemp from the Hill Tribes.

PHILOSOPHY

How much better can it get?

Unconditional love is liberating

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am here to be friendly, understanding and foster global community that has more friends and love.

I try to pay it forward, learn from others. I’m down to get together, share life, and good times as well as hard times.

I love the idea of "welcome home," when one is far from it.

I have hosted a number of people in Cambodia and Thailand and been hosted by many in South East and East Asia...I’ve hosted many many friends in all my homes off of couchsurfing over the years.

Interests

Music and Creative expression, authenticity, harmony, music, self-awareness, new experiences, pushing growth edges.
