CURRENT MISSION

To travel and connect with the world around me in a purposeful and meaningful way through culture, dance and great meals.

ABOUT ME

I am silly, strictly honest and open about who I am and what I like. I feel deeply and love the world and people. I write in my journal everyday.

I love the ocean, my homemade chocolate-chip cookies and red wine. I take a lot of photographs and I wonder what I'll do with them all one day. I love, love, a great conversation. I love nature and seasons.

I have no religious affiliation. I believe that there is some cosmic and chaotic perfection to this universe. I want to learn all I can through ways of pleasurable study, and travel just happens to be my favorite route thus far.

I grew up mainly organic through my mother's influence and also very fond of chocolate and sweets. Homemade goods are my favorite and I would love to learn how to cook more.

I do absolutely LOVE dancing, cultural dancing is a hobby and treat. I love making friends of many unique personalities and backgrounds. The more different, sometimes, can mean the most strong.

PHILOSOPHY

Personally I am learning more everyday. The most resilient purpose I hold so far is that I am here to Love. In the greatest and most broad sense of the word. To love the truth of me and others. The truth of this moment and who I am today. I believe in honesty and living through one's heart and passion. I wonder how this all plays out in the larger picture. I am here to learn with humility and through unabashed self-expression - all around the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Meeting others around the world, staying on couches to save money and integrate with local life. I look forward to offering a place to stay to CSers. I use and offer Rideshare a lot in California USA, which means I share my car and trips with fellow travelers in the area to save gas and meet others.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Stayed with a gentlemen in Italy, he charged us though which seemed antithetical to CS... Ready to experience the true magic of couch surfing here in South America!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went sky-diving this last winter in South Africa... wow! I still love my gentle sunset swims in the southern californian sea.

Graduated College! Created 6 webisodes on the transition from School to Society that I've posted on YouTube @ www.youtube.com/steppingoutofline

Teach, Learn, Share

I love offering my enthusiasm for living and learning. I love trying new things and learning from new people. I love reading to others or reading near them. I love painting and stretching/exercising/dancing, all things I love sharing and love being shared with. I play some guitar, have sung some and love experimental forms of music, cooking and travel. I want to know more about cultural relations, as I have done lectures around the US on Race Relations (pertaining mainly to whites and blacks) and I am openly seeking more insight to a more well rouned/holistic unerstanding of cultural dynamics in this greatly blending global picture.
I love acting and want to work on this art more, with focus on the fun aspect and releasing. I do massage and love appropriate and healing body-work exchange. I babysit and do love children. I am very active and love working with my hands-helping out or learning new skills.
