I live in Phoenix AZ. Was an Infantry Marine and served two tours to Iraq. When I got back I owned my own massage business for about a year till I got in a motorcycle accident. After which, I kinda just took the corporate route of information technology and settled into a safe, secure career. Got married and then divorced...

Now after never rebelling a day in my life I am challenging my old belief patterns, social expectations, and venturing into the unknown of the world. Where I plan to just experience life in deeper and more abundant ways that I never could imagine while challenging myself every step of the way. I have no clue where this will take me and plan to be on the road for at least a year to say to myself that I did it.

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy all types of music and have a wide range of musical tastes. I like music that makes me move, feel, puts me in a trance, and just helps me focus.

Books!

I remember reading Harry Potter growing up but after my motorcycle accident all that stuff just disappeared! So, I enjoyed re-reading the books and had a ton of fun with it recently. I would not considered myself an HP fan as many people have been for over 20 years but I really enjoy it. Also, I like books on personal development, performance based things, and books about art, beauty, and adventures.

Movies!

I am obessed with all things cinematography and can appreciate virtually every movie to some degree because it takes a lot to make a movie!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'd like to say I've seen or done this amazing thing but I have lived a pretty sheltered life and all I can really think of is the multiple times that I went sky diving.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach
I can teach/practice basic English and have translation devices to help communication as well. I can also teach things I've learned over the years and help shift mindsets/belief patterns through thoughtful questions and embodiment/bioenergetic movements.

Learn
I'd love to learn about you, your culture, and what makes where you live so amazing! Also, I am open/willing to learn your language if that's possible in the short while we would be visiting.

What I Can Share with Hosts

- I'm a pretty awesome cook and if I don't know how to do something well internet is right at our finger tips!
- I can have conversations about virtually anything and I can sit back quietly and listen without giving unwanted or needed advise.
- Capable and willing to push you to the next level or over come an obstacle you are facing.
- Cleaning obviously up for myself but if you need help around the house it's the least I could do.
- Reviews are everything nowadays and after I leave I will always provide a recommendations/references to amazing people even if I didn't stay with you personally and just met up in your city!
