About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To create, to engage, to inspire, to approach the world with unwavering compassion and love. And oh yes, to have nothing to hide.

ABOUT ME

I like to laugh a lot, I love people and plants, animals, rocks,bugs and most other things. Even You! Jokes are nice and I love music. Playing it, making it, hearing it, all of it.

PHILOSOPHY

The human brain is a complicated puzzle. I think many of our phobias come from a frustration that we cannot answer all the questions which come up about our purpose, origin, etc... I'm optimistic about the good in people, the sparkling gleam in the eye which shines through when zapped with pure love and acceptance and I think that feeling is what I live for.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I live in an extremely crowded house with a pregnant roomie so I can't really host at all. But I will surf until I'm eaten by the waves and provide my host with appriciation and can cook too!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first and only experience was in Berlin with a guy named Alex. At the time my Boyfriend had an account but not me. It was an amazing feeling to be welcomed into a home in such a strange place and to be shown about the city. Many thanks!

Interests

Art of all kinds interests me. Music is my first love, but anything creatively inspired gets me pretty stoked. I love people and learning from them and sharing experiences and wisdom. Yoga is quickly becoming a major part of my life as well as dance.

Music, Movies, and Books

Robert Anton Wilson's the Cosmic Trigger series changed my life. I also like Vonnegut, Tom Robbins, and Jermey Narby's "The Cosmic Serpent."

As Far as music is concerned...oh so much. Music is Magic.To Name a few: Jose Gonzolez, Blind Melon, Mike Patton, Fleet Foxes, Portugal. The Man, Okkerville River, Fawn Fables, Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, Two Foot Yard,

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've been lucky enough to swim in the ocean, have amazing friends, dance and sing, teach, and fall in love. I also have milked several goats and sheep, befriended a one hundred year old hypnotist, and am currently in the process of writing my first play- a musical loosley titled "And Sometimes Warriors Wear Mary Janes."
