Por que estou no Couchsurfing
A friend suggested I try couch surfing since I am very social. I have been fortunate to have traveled a lot in my life and my most memorable experiences are actually not the sights I've seen but the people that I have met along the way that made my experiences so delightful! I will be hosting myself (even if I don't end of staying with others) after my current house improvement projects are completed. I have a nice spare bedroom and home to share in a very lovely town in Central Oregon. I host many friends that come from all over because everyone likes to visit here. Especially if they are skiers beacause the mountain is very close by to town.
Música, Filmes e Livros
I love Pandora radio and have may different stations as i like many different kinds of music. My movie tastes are also eclectic and I enjoy documentaries, indies and foreign films as well as a big hollywood blockbusters occasionally. I read at least a book a month and sometimes 2 or 3. A few that have stuck with me lately, "The color of Water", " The Art of Racing in the Rain", "Shantaram", and currently I am reading Brene Brown's "The Gifts of Imperfection. I adore anything by Pema Chodren and am drawn to buddhist philosophy. I listen to NPR and OBP radio. I also like to see or hear funny comedians.
Uma Coisa Incrível Que Já Fiz
I bungee jumped off a bridge over water in New Zealand and also did tandom skydiving. Both were equally amazing because I am afraid of heights!!!
Ensinar, Aprender, Compartilhar
My job as an Acupuncturist is all about teaching how to live a healthier life. I love that aspect of my job as I love to teach but I am always open to learning new things and my clients also teach me as well. Everyone is a teacher and everyone is a student if one stays open to growing. I go to Burning Man because of the generosity of the community and for the sharing that it inspires in people. It is a gifting culture there. No money is exchanged except for ice, coffee, tea. Everything is made by and for the community. Highly recommend it. It may change your life!
O Que Posso Oferecer aos Hosts
Laughter and a kind heart and many stories of life's adventures if interested. I can also share an ear. I am a good listener and am intersted in other's stories. Also, I live in an amazing place where a river runs through my town. Oregon is a beautiful place and Bend, Or is where most Oregonians and many former Californians like myself want to live!
Meus Interesses
Travel is my biggest passion but I have others as well. I am an avid reader and love to hear stories. I have been in the same bookclub with the same awesome ladies for 8 yrs! My favorite radio shows are This American Life and the Moth radio hour. I adore dancing and have done many styles including West African, Rueda (It's Cuban sqquare dancing.) hooping and belly dancing. Want to learn to swing dance next! I have been a yogini for over 25 yrs. I live near Mt Bachelor so I alpine and nordic ski as well as snowshoe. I enjoy mtn biking, organic gardening, hiking, camping, and mushroom hunting (yummy edibles), In the summer I volunteer in medical for several music festivals. It is a great way to contribute and help out all while getting to hear great new music. I go to hotsprings as much as possible and where I live I'm fortunate enough to live relatively close to some nice ones. I am also a long time burner which means I attend one of the coolest art and music festivals on the planet every year in the Black Rock desert of Neveda called Burning Man.
