CURRENT MISSION

Learn how people live and share the experience with people who are trapped in a day-to-day grind. I believe that anything that anyone wants, from simple happiness to serious health, as within their reach if they choose to get it.

ABOUT ME

Generally easy going.
Love other cultures, religions, and philosophies.
Study hypnosis, nlp and other forms of psychology - LOVE finding out how different people's minds work and help them to figure out and realize goals.
Sardonic sense of humor, occasional stand-up comedian.
Travel with puppet monkey named Lorenzo.
I love to smile, love to share time with people who love life.

PHILOSOPHY

You are who you decide to be. You can have an amazing life if and when you choose to live it. If you want something, do it.
Your circumstances never dictate your outcome. I'll share plenty of proof of that if I meet you or even if you just message me.
People are amazing, 95% of them are purely good. !00% have positive intentions when they act, even if others don't see that at the time; even if it's poorly executed.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I surf. Currently being a gypsy but when I settle down somewhere I'm convinced I'll be opening my home to others.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have only minimally surfed here before, but have been homeless for a collective year and a half, and have met some of the best people by staying with strangers. After all, 99% of the best people in the world are people I've never met, statistically :)

Interests

Love helping people find positive parts of life. Stand up comedy and other things that make me laugh. Herbs and teas are freaking delicious. And FOOD! :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Real moments of human insight. When a parent finds out that things with their kids will be ok. When a person massively changes beliefs about something.
The earth. Mountains and oceans make me feel worthless and small and I love the instant humility in that.
People can control amazing things with their minds and cooperation with the earth. I have seen schizophrenics stop suffering and multiple personalities disappear.
I have also been educating in schools about sexual and gender minorities, and have seen absolute bullies become powerful allies. I have a driving passion to continue this work. I have been part of so much change work and I don't think I'll ever want to stop.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to learn about your life. Boring? I doubt it. You're just not looking at what I'm looking for. I'm sure you're interesting.
If you're a cook, I want to learn about your style.
Any religions.
Any philosophies.
I will teach you anything I know about psychology. I don't deal much with "traditional" psychology and I despise modern medicine. I can teach people how to hypnotize themselves. If you think you can't be hypnotized, you are wrong. Trust me, you have been.
I am also a philosopher. I can have civilized discourse, and enjoy it as long as minds are open and tempers are calm.
