About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To meet new people and share great experiences while expanding my horizons

ABOUT ME

I'm an entrepreneurial-minded person with many interests. I love learning and evolving as a person--becoming more balanced and kinder and more compassionate to others.

I enjoy things related to the outdoors, especially hiking and camping. I feel very at-home in nature.

Some of the top things I like to learn about include science, ancient history and prehistory, food/cooking, nutrition, and the day-to-day life of people of other cultures. I also just like learning about people in general, especially about their professions and hobbies.

Here's my blog about my travel adventures:

PHILOSOPHY

I believe in helping those who need your help. I also believe everyone has special talents that allow them to provide help best in certain areas.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host and surf.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

A bit of couch surfing, a lot of hosting. Both are awesome.

Interests

Outdoors, hiking, camping

MovNat - This is exercising outoors in nature (climbing trees, crawling on rocks, barefoot running) It's similar in some ways to parkour and Crossfit but more nature-oriented and less extreme

Entrepreneurship

Cooking

Nutrition

Documentaries - especially about nature, survival, and ancient cultures

Dancing - pretty much all kinds, but especially club dancing.

Science and technology - I'm actually not very much of a techie, but I like hanging around them and learning from them. I trained as a plant ecologist.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like shows about nature and ancient cultures, so documentaries and adventure shows.

I'm not the biggest movie fan, because on a nice day I'd rather be outdoors than watching a movie. But if a movie has a high rating, I'll go see it, especially adventure movies and comedies.

I've been reading books about Eastern spirituality because I'm working on becoming more spiritual. I'm learning how to meditate.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I got out of college, one of my first jobs was cleaning house for a Gypsy fortune teller and her family. For some reason, she never offered to read my fortune, LOL.

More recently, in Costa Rica, I slept under a waterfall.
