Sobre mí

CURRENT MISSION

To love, heal, paint, see, and go inside

ABOUT ME

I love to dance, sing, play, paint, laugh, hold hands, eat, read self-help books, look and see. I am very happy to be alive and I am confused about being alive. I am working through some old wounds and learned ideas and coming into the present more and more. I am excited about life (getting close to people, discovering new fruit, feeling oneness with the earth) and I also dread certain things (to do lists & sour end notes of important relationships). I am very excited to be writing about myself. It's like I am discovering what is going on in this head, body, life of mine. I love my family, friends, and most people I meet. I have been intimidated by people and wonder if I stop saying that it won't exist. I am curious about consciousness, manifestation, creation, reality, god, thought, action. I love dogs, like and love some cats, and want to get to know other animals better. I am alive. I am grateful sometimes and practicing these days and I often in fear. I love artistic things and hope to make more artsy eco-friendly art. One of my not-so attached dreams is to build a house I call home (home is everywhere so I wonder about saying, thinking, believing there is one home, when the earth is my home) with the materials on the property and have it be open to all people. Having dreams and ideas is something I do without meaning to maybe to create meaning in my life.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm excited about living one moment at a time. This proves difficult sometimes when people I care about want to make plans and when I want to make plans. I guess if I plan in the moment I am still living one moment at a time. It just may be one moment I say yes and the next I say no. My personal philosophy is to love, live, discover, learn, face my fears, hopes, desires,listen to my heart, my god or whatever it may be, get in tune with myself and be, which might prove difficult at times, contrary, or scary and see what's on the other side. My philosophy is to be true to oneself. We are made so similarly and yet we are all so unique. I like to think if we are all so unique that we might make use of that uniqueness but I don't think my ideas are solid and unshakeable and don't wish to presecribe to the idea of we must all show our uniqueness. Also I prescribe to be kind to others as long as we are being true to ourselves. "what will be will be." "this too shall pass." the jain philosophy i just learned is soooo inspiring. i am victoria, and i am not victoria. i both am victoria and not victoria and i am not both victoria and not victoria. something like that. it's very new to me but i heard it is very old. :O)

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Currently I am traveling so I am requesting couches to stay at. But try me here in Brooklyn if you so desire.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couchsurfed five times and it was great. It was a nice change from camping. I felt like I lived in Sydney for the day. Didn't have to carry around my pack. Couchsurfed in tucson, az with a most generous, open host. Then in Phoenix, AZ with also a very generous host and his lovely dog. In Idaho with a most amazing mother and generous woman, and in Seattle with a woman bravely new to couchsurfing. Couchsurfing is really a helpful/giving/sharing space. I am so grateful. Thank you and god bless this space and everyone involved.

Algo increíble que he hecho

Is to love and empathize with people, sort of like being there for people. To hold a baby and have it laugh in it's sleep, in my arms. See a coyote. See horses "kissing". Dancing to music I love in the NYC subway platforms. Seeing young lambs playing and jumping. Having a mud fight in Hawaii. Watching 5-6 successive shooting stars and singing to the sky to have them appear.

Enseña, aprende, comparte

Hi. I love life and then when it's difficult, sometimes I wonder what is it all for. I am learning to watch myself be impatient, struggling, hurting, and it's helping me accept the pain and challenges more. Someone once shared with me that he believes most people live life mostly at low points and have a few highlights, like imagine a chart, the life line is experiencing mostly lows and then a few highs, well what if we could reverse it, mostly our lives are highs and a few lows. I have wanted to have more highs and sometimes i do and sometimes it's still more lows. i accomplished this through becoming more conscious of my thoughts, conditioning and reactions. i have done things that i was scared of and pushed through fears. i still have so many more to push through but i am so much more grateful than i ever was. i am happy about my life sometimes, more than i was in the past, and i am taking more responsibility for my choices and therefore doing what i want to do. i guess i am really curious what is possible. do we create reality or are we not in control at all or is it something in between? i am not sure. god...that is a huge topic for me. i feel that i have been given proof there is a god and yet i still question the belief or idea. reading the bible shows me that people would stop believing no matter how often god showed them miracles. makes me wonder. i love nature so much and the earth and keep coming back to simplicity. why create garbage and waste? oh the turtles and all the animals.
