Overview
About Me
Passionate and creative humanitarian and entrepreneur! Had a little blip of life things including some serious health issues, and I am thrilled to be back here on CouchSurfing!
I can't wait to get back out there and connect with my fellow human beings. I enjoy exploring the world, and bringing people together through the power of the arts! I am an artist at my core and love it all. I enjoy food as well :) and am a health nut in terms of really watching what I eat, understanding nutrition and how best to not inflame my body, but to nourish mind/ body / soul!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
On a mission - I was born with this passion and it's called #SecondWorldMovement and it's all about unifying in the realization of what is possible on a global scale in making the world better through innovation, art and community oriented economic empowerment.

Music, Movies, and Books
Comedies like Coming to America with Eddie Murphy - currently addicted to "The Chateau Diaries" on YouTube because I enjoy being inspired in my life by people 'doing the impossible' (no such thing as impossible because life is full of possibilities!) and I believe laughing is medicine.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I got to install the first light bulb in a remote Peruvian village - solar energy that helped with delivery of babies and ability to communicate through radio signals powered by those panels we installed. Felt good to be a part of it.
Teach, Learn, Share
Economic empowerment and sustainable development, innovation and creativity. DJing for neuro-cognitive and trauma therapy!
What I Can Share with Hosts
I love meeting people driven with a passion to make the world better through their work. I am scouting innovators to feature on my startup's futuristic storytelling/ selling platform and folks to collaborate with in my nonprofit to educate, uplift and empower the world. I like to do creative collaborative photoshoots where ever I go to spotlight cool Makers doing good things - from fashion designers, to vintage shops - to community organizations .... :) art, dance, music, fashion.... let's go!
