PHILOSOPHY

Live as is if the world were ending tomorrow... take chances, follow your intuition, trust in karma.

"Real life is doing something which you love to do with your whole being so that there is no inner contradiction, no war between what you are doing and what you think you should do."
-J. Krishnamurti

"The quality of your life is the quality of your relationships."
~ Anthony Robbins

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I traveled from Denver to San Fran and up the whole northwestern US coast thanks to couchsurfing and craigslist rideshares. It was one of the most touching and uplifting times of my life. Also CSed in Brazil and met the most fantastic group of CSer hosts in Belo Horizonte. I host when I can for travelers passing through Denver.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Virtually any sunrise or sunset amazes me.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to make some kick-ass guacamole and maybe how to bench press a tree if you are really adventurous. I also teach pre-school/elementary music so if you want to learn a song about the tooth fairy or President Lincoln, I'm your girl.
