CURRENT MISSION

Finding my true path, meeting super people, and enjoying the chances to grow wiser

ABOUT ME

I am a teacher, a healer, an adventurer, a foodie, a woodswoman, a writer, and a tree hugger. I love to sing and dance and laugh and eat- preferably in the woods with friends who feel like family. Cities are fun to visit- I love going to shows and open air markets, or going dancing at a club. My home is close to the natural world and I surround myself with healthy foods, live plants, animal friends, and a good dose of quiet. What are we going to laugh about together?

PHILOSOPHY

Seeing people as beautiful incarnations of spirits hungry for growth. Loving this incarnation. Helping, loving, exploring, learning.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I open my home to travelers when I am home and hope to find places to surf.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've had a lot of Couchsurfing attempts not work out so far, but I was able to help a family find a cabin in my area when they came up for their son to attend summer camp.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

jumped nude off a 60 foot cliff into the crystal clear blue Smith River in southern Oregon where red flowers serviced by hummingbirds bloomed on the cliff side in the warm sun.

Rode a motorcycle with my partner across the Brazilian outback to arrive at the 2009 World Social Forum.

Got stopped by beach police for sunbathing nude in Costa Rica.

Was a teaching assistant for a traveling College level experiential learning study abroad in Brazil. The focus was on Ecology and Natural Resource Management. I was responsible for making sure the students didn't kill each other or cause serious trauma, which was quite a feat given the group. It was a great trip and all of us, myself included, learned a lot.
