About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Rediscovering my heart's work while anchored in the East Bay.

ABOUT ME

Well this is a daunting little box, isn't it? Let's see, the only instrument I can really play is my own voice since my hands lack the patience to gain the skill. I'm from Long Beach, CA but home is where the heart is and my heart is always in Black Rock City, NV (aka Burning Man). I'm an artist since birth always drawing, sculpting (you should see the masterpieces I create with unwanted food at restaurants), singing, dancing, circus, etc. My current favorite form of physical expression, besides yoga, is climbing on suspended fabrics and dancing on them through the air.

I believe that every man, woman, child, animal, and plant on this Earth is part of my family and I do my darnedest to treat them all as such, even though I have to eat some of them. I love Sufi poetry, independent film, bizarre literature, untamed hearts, sleeping outdoors, and running down dirt paths through trees where I can really breathe.

I always want to be working toward creating sustainability in all of its manifestations: ecological, social, economic, global. Well, that's a good start to knowing all about me. You'll just have to work for the rest of it :)

PHILOSOPHY

Love.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host as often as possible and refer all the good people I know to do the same. If I can't host I can usually find a friend in the area who can. I'm just starting to surf unknown couches now and find fellow travelers.

Teach, Learn, Share

I've got 900 hours of massage school under my belt and can teach you how to effectively, respectfully, and lovingly touch another human being or other animal. I can also put a de-railed bike chain back on its gears. Pretty impressive, I know ;o)
