Artist, Actor, Clown. Poet, Dancer and always down for that next adventure. I would love you to become a part of my journey 💛🙏🏼🌻

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to travel! I love to meet people! I love to learn how other cultures work and feel from the inside, not just as a tourist, but as a visitor.
I want to keep travelling and I want to help others travel when I am home. We are always best when we help each other out!

Interests

I have such a huge variety of things that interest me. Really! And that is one of the greatest things in life. To be engaged and in awe of the world. To learn to love that which exists. To be present and awake and in contact with the beauty in the world. Be be alive, and to LOVE life ❤️

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The Greatest thing I have ever seen will be the rain forest in Central America. The great Ocean of green, growing LIFE. Truly breathtaking.

One Amazing thing I have done is to run a pop-up restaurant with my brothers. A month of complete chaos and SO MUCH FUN!

Teach, Learn, Share

'Everything is better when shared.'
Let us teach one another, learn from eact other and share from our unique perspectives and fountains of knowledge. That's how we grow!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love to share stories, both from my life, and from the gathering of others, mythological stories, folk tale, legends. Maybe one of my favourite things to share. And just conversations in general. I LOVE to get to know new people 🫶🏼
I love cooking. Vegetarian and vegan based food. Have worked in a few kitchens, and would not consider myself an educated chef, but I have a passion for food. Everything is better when it is shared 🙏🏼
I also love to give massages, have had a few different massage teachers, and have a deep understanding of the human body, how it works, how it moves, how it NEEDS love and care to be able to function.
