My life thus far has led me to the knowledge that I'm here on this planet to be of service to humanity, and to do the work of going deep within myself to allow the peeling back of the layers of illusion that keep me from seeing my essential nature... love, light, and one with all.
I'm adventurous, inquisitive, determined, inventive, and devoted. Awakening the joy within others through word and song and deed brings me closer to myself and to this human community. I delight in the art of conscious language, the silence of the heart, organic food prepared with love, and, overall, overlaying my life with intention.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love people, and I have a stable home base in a fantastically beautiful place and I feel grace when I can help lend a smile to a face.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Spending seven months in India was one of the most incredible experiences of my life.

Teach, Learn, Share

It is said that one who enjoys the grace of fortune and does not return the favor to others is like a thief. As we each come to a deeper understanding of ourselves, and therefor, a finer balance of energies within, it is essential to cultivate that balance without. Essentially, to always "pay it forward".
As Swami Sivananda says, "Serve, Love, Give". Strong hands are to build homes for others and to remove the obstacles that lie in the path of another. A clear mind is for inspiring others through the art of loving speech. An open heart is for giving love.
"Grant that i may not so much seek to be consoled, as to console, to be understood as to understand, to be loved, as to love."
Humanity is a collective that operates best when the values of service and altruism are enacted. The path and purpose of every individual, therefor, is to contribute to the good of all. In the triumph of an individual, so too does all of creation rejoice!

What I Can Share with Hosts
