CURRENT MISSION

Reconnoitre Europe to connect with new and old friends, family, spiritual community, joy and inspiration!

PHILOSOPHY

We and the world are interconnected.
Every moment is perfect in it's own way.
I am relearning how to live in a state of trust, abundance and awe!
To ask from each experience, what can I learn and how can I grow from this?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet and connect with adventurous and wonderful people from around the world. To share resources, inspiration and wisdom on our beautiful, interconnected planet.

Interests

I love meeting and connecting with honest, authentic and kind people. I also delight in hiking, running, playing with my cat, going to fabulous masquerade balls with my husband, meditating, growing succulents and tomatoes in our little garden, reading philosophy, spirituality and travel books, listening to science lectures, cooking. However, it's usually more about how, and with whom, than what.

Music, Movies, and Books

The Man Who Knew Infinity, about the genius Indian Mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan. I "heart" Huckabees, quirky but good. Ryan's Well, about a 6 year old Canadian boy who saves his money to build a well in Uganda; he soon is on Oprah and inspires the country. Scared Scared - a beautifully filmed five year journey around the globe to sites of tragedy and renewal. I have a lot of Ken Wilber books but currently prefer listening to the brilliant Advaita Vedanta teacher Rupert Spira.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I packed a LOT of herring fish and saw a wild bear in Alaska.
