CURRENT MISSION

To continue my spiritual growth

ABOUT ME

I am a very open minded person who enjoys learning just about anything. I enjoy an adventure into the unknown. I tend to get along well with most people, and am very forgiving. My friends can count on me for any help from me when needed. I love meeting new people and I am still trying to find my place in life. I have discovered that I can be a great facilitator for the healing process within us all and I still have a lot of healing to do myself. Sometimes I feel like I was destined to save the world.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe that there is good in everyone. Each person has a unique spiritual path in life and there are many temptations to make us stray off this path. Through patience, understanding, and intuitive communication we can learn to find the good within ourselves and others. I want to reach the point where I can live off the land. Growing my own food and helping out those in my community through therapy. Someday the world can be a better place once we remember that money is not the end of everything.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Breaking down political, racial, and cultural borders. I believe that through understanding we can all be more respectful of each other.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I met some couchsurfers at a party in Japan. Later I would travel to Gunma prefecture and surf at three different places. Everyone was so wonderful! Now I am beginning to plan my trip to Mexico in 2011

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Going to Ryoanji temple in Kyoto. The zen rock garden is an amazing place to simply sit and think. Even though there are people there who do not respect the silence its as if no one else is there gazing into the perfectly raked lines of stones in contrast with the beautiful green gardens beyond the walls.
