CURRENT MISSION

To spread peace around the world, while constantly exploring and learning..oh ya and to have a blast while doing so... :)

ABOUT ME

I love music, and I love traveling. Not necessarily in that order. I also enjoy meeting new people, foreign or not, I just like to hear other people's stories and ideas.. I play piano and I sing, and have been doing so basically since I was in the womb..

PHILOSOPHY

Be kind. Be confident and love yourself, then you can love others fully...and no matter what, invest positive energy in the people around you

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have hosted, surfed, and gone to meetings! I have done more surfing than hosting, but I love both. CS is an incredible project and even though it has grown so much I still find it to be a great medium to meet like-minded people.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

All of them!! haha all great experiences, honestly, some better than others of course, but i've had happiness, adventure, sadness, love, drunkenness, dancing, late-night talks, reunions, and any and everything in between!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've seen humanity which is always amazing..I've paraglided through the Andes, climbed active volcanoes in Hawaii and Guatemala, loved unconditionally, been stuck in the Bolivian desert during a violent strike/road block for 12 hours with several drunk miners, saw Pope John Paul II speak at St. Peter's Basilica, sang 14 beautiful babies to sleep every night at Casa Acogida, in Santiago, Chile, jumped in a dumpster to retrieve my vacuum filter, hitchhiked in Mexico, swam in the open water alone with a school of dolphins, and I can't wait to see/do a hell of a lot more...

Teach, Learn, Share

I teach piano and voice, and also tutor college-aged students in lower-level business courses. I've taught english and music to children in Latin america, otherwise, I've taught a lot of people how to drive stick shift oh ya and I've taught recorder.. otherwise if anyone wants to teach me how to play cello I'd definitely be a happy girl, and.. i'd like to learn sign language. . and how to surf. that's all for now...
