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.

Interests

On a global tour DJing at night and during the day scouting innovators and makers for my "conscious Amazon" platform (startup launching soon.)

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!
