About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To learn what that is.

ABOUT ME

I have spent the past three years travelling all over, aimless and wandering. I have fallen in love over and over, with people, places, ideas and men. I have learned my limits, pushed them, and grown through them into a person of confindence and personal honesty.

I am now living back in my home town trying to reconnect with the community I left when I took to the road. I am learning what it means to be invested again, in people and places, instead of the mystified, in awe state I've grown to be so comfortable in. I realized that the biggest challenge for me right now in my life would be to stay still. I'm super good at moving.

So I'm working at a coffee shop that I love, making art and music, and engaging with the amazing people that pop up in my life with a cultivated, vulnerable innocence

PHILOSOPHY

There is nothing between you and the bodhisattva except you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am ready to host anyone who is willing to sleep on a mat on the floor next to a piano.... I' in a one bedroom. So, punks request!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have couchsurfed a shit loas all over the world. FIrst time in Cusco, Peru and eventually all over the world. I hosted in Kathmandu with my partner at the time and had amazing experiences. I think couchsurfing is a fantastic global movement, that isn't pretentious, elitist or hard to approach. It's for the people, by the people shit and I am super down!

Interests

I like art and poetry. Anything living that is poetic, I am unusually attracted to. I have a twisted sense of aesthetic and humor.
I am learning how to develop film, and take black and white photos DIY, self taught etc. It's a process of zen non-attachment.

I like zen lunatics and mad men. of all kinds. I like matters of the heart. The deepest, darkest secrets are of interest to me.

I am concerned about health, on a personal and planetary level.

I'm into growing. and learning, but I don't like milk.

I experienced a kind of death on Ayahuaska. I've never experienced anything so powerful.
