About Me

I am a student of life. I always attempt to learn experiences!
My passions are art and science
I am a psychophysiological researcher with an emphasis on studying the mind-body connection.
My focus pertains to expanding consciousness and holistic health (so the biofeedback system of the body-mind, is actually communication between the mind-body and spirit). Through understanding this, I hope to bring awareness to how humans treat themselves, those around them, and their environment.

To say that I love music may be an understatement.. I love to see live music. I also very much enjoy to paint; a visual unfolding of this creativity. I think everyone is an artist..at heart.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on couchsurfing to travel, to meet people - with varying interests.
I feel that if you can learn at least one thing a day, life is worth living.
To meet those with different perspectives expands your own frame of reference and discernment of the world.
If I can tell people of my perspective and vise versa, to possibly lend to people understanding one another better. By making the world smaller we can help it to be kinder

Interests

I love research, and psychological/philosophical works (Currently reading Carl Jung and Ken Wilber)
I love to paint, i also love to play the guitar
I love to hike and camp, to study nature is my first and only true school
