Earlier this year I sold everything and booked a one way ticket to Cairo. I had no idea what I was looking for but I was certain that I’d learn many valuable lessons. Five months, thirteen countries and many wild adventures later, I am back. But now I’m playing the guitar, writing and practicing Tai Chi.
Before this, I was a corrective exercise and massage therapist in studio city, ca.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m on Couchsurfing to make time for the things in life that truly matter: love, music, living with Heart, art, flowing with the universe... Maybe one day we’ll have a beautiful community and won’t have to work long hours away in a building in a busy city.

Interests

Reading, writing, making music (since very recently), gardening, horses, farms, nature and exploring new places and understanding cultures. And living with the way of the heart

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was eleven, I saved the life of a drowning child. He had fallen into the pool of our apartment building. My younger brother ran over and told me that the neighbor’s child was drowning; I ran, dove in and pulled him out. At the time I didn’t know CPR so I thumped his back until he spat the water he’d taken in and carried him to his parents. Brother Bear deserves credit as well.

Teach, Learn, Share

It is important for one to be a good listener; and I’ve learned this by loving people unconditionally

What I Can Share with Hosts

I enjoy sharing everything I am and have with everyone and love all humans, animals and life.
