Aimer, ce n’est pas se regarder l’un l’autre, c’est regarder ensemble dans la même direction”

(“To love is not to look at each other, it is to look together in the same direction.”)(Antoine de Saint-Exupéry)

Most people are trapped by their possessions, their positions, their prestige...

They're so afraid for losing what they have that they are to reach for they become. (Jim Rohn)

Looking to meet locals and travelers alike.

Let's meet and co-create special moments with each other, whether that's making a simple spontaneous discoveries or actively creating together.

I've always said that there are places and communities on this planet that carry a lot of wisdom, and when I'm there, I feel it; in turn, I'm able to give wisdom back. I'm excited for this!

Some things I like...
- Nature and hiking, water and kayaking/boogeyboarding
- Exploring cafes and (sometimes) nice pubs and laughing, shooting pool, or just relaxing
- Telling silly jokes of observations and allowing you to react, whether you're laughing at the joke or laughing at me
- Witty banter to those that like to take it (and give it back!)
- Things that ground, like walking barefoot in nature, meditation, and taking herbs, as well as practicing massages (I spent the month at Esalen, and I learned, among other things, Esalen massage)
- Enjoy the world authentic to ourselves and sharing that being as authentic to myself to start.

I have spent my life making major shifts that put me closer to the life I want to live. Contrary to the western thinking, those shifts did not require money - quite the opposite. It required internal self-work, it required letting go (to ride a bike, one has to remove the training wheels), and it required me to try things outside of my comfort level. It's led me to the life I want to live (attracting like-minded community, traveling, learning other people's journeys ) and I'm on a mission to help others find the joy of living their own life.

I would love to both share knowledge, inspiration, and exercises with fellow Couch Surfers, and also be inspired by their stories and presence in return, while having fun doing so. Win-win!

Some favorite quotes:

~ Whatever you do, put yourself in a position where you can work not to cover up weakness, but to deal from strength (E.Tolle)...

~ Our belief may be comforting..but only through *experience*, however, does it become liberating (E.Tolle)...

~ 'There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man; true nobility is being superior to your former self. (E. Hemingway).

Music, Movies, and Books

This is a long list, so I'll give you a couple random movie favorites for now:
Interstellar, Science of Sleep, the Matrix. I also love foreign films, because they allow for deep emotional development that many Hollywood films do not want to go.

Recent Favorite Books:
- Way of the Superior Man (David Dieda)
- Hawaiian Mysticism

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- I hiked the Big Island's young lava rocks barefoot. It was painful, but not hurtful. Now, I encourage friends to do the same.

- I went to an interactive performance where the audience was blindfolded for 2 hours, and we were forced to interact with each other only with our four other senses. After feeling insecure for the first five minutes, I felt empowered at how my other senses magnified and soon after, it was a great night of tug of war, shoulder massages, dancing with strangers that I couldn't see until the very end of the show.
