MY VISION

As a future chiropractor, my vision and purpose in life is to be a vessel that assists in personal and planetary healing. I see a world in which all human beings can coexist and live in harmony and peace, each to their own vision. I believe I can be a vessel of healing and elevating the consciousness through my work of chiropractic.

MY LIFE PHILOSOPHY

My life philosophy is just that...to always respectively question why and what our purpose is here on this Earth...to ask philosophical questions about life and generate a new sense of awareness within myself and others. I enjoy living each day to the fullest, expression and serving my gifts as well as allowing others to share their gifts they bring to the world with me. I believe in a collective consciousness that exists among all of us and that we are all connected in some way, shape, or form...we are all one.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My initial intention of creating a couch surfing profile was to network with people around the country where I envision living as well as opening my future chiropractic office. I appreciated the sense of exploring and learning about different areas of the country through staying with people within my area of interest. Why stay in a hotel when I could meet and stay with awesome people and learn about the demographics of their homes, where they live, the culture, how health and healing is interpreted within the area, etc.

I also created this profile as that traveling in general and meeting people is a huge hobby of mine :)

Music, Movies, and Books

Music

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

If I could only pick one amazing thing I've done (being that LIFE is amazing in itself), I would have to say my 10-day chiropractic mission trip to Haiti. The experience was life changing for me. I've always believed myself to be philanthropic and a humanitarian, but your entire worldly perspective changes when you visit a 3rd world country and just serve and give every single day, all hours of the day.

I plan on visiting and serving my friends in Ouanaminthe, Haiti again this December, 2015.f

Teach, Learn, Share

*I love teaching people how to cook-my Dad is a chef, so I guess you can say it's in my blood :)

*I also enjoy teaching and sharing how to throw pottery, do yoga positions, answer any questions about chiropractic, and play rugby

*I love learning anything new...I've always wanted to learn how to surf as well as do the proper yoga handstand

What I Can Share with Hosts

* Love
* Peace
* Acceptance
* Laughs
* Organic Coffee
* Minnesota Wild Rice
* Deep and Intellectual Conversation
* Homemade Pottery
*Chiropractic Love
* Books
* Food (I love to cook for people!)
*The practice of yoga
*A jog in the park
*Pumping some iron
*Company for your pets (I still like cats even though I'm allergic!)
