CURRENT MISSION

To laugh everyday without restraint.

ABOUT ME

I like new things, people, and ideas. I want to see as much as the world as possible and enjoy this beautiful, once in a lifetime, life that we have.

PHILOSOPHY

To live is so startling it leaves little time for anything else.
~Emily Dickinson

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING My service dog(Lük Suk) and I have been in India for the past 15 months and just coming back to the U.S. After an unexpected cancelled flight I decided to give Europe a whirl on a very low budget😂I've been learning meditation, yoga and natural healing through food and how to make natural skin care products. I am looking forward to many adventures and experiences. I am an awesome chef, most of the time, (but always want to learn new things)and love cooking for people. It gives me a lot of pleasure to make a meal and sit down with folks and have real conversations instead of the tv on, etc. I got my degree in Photography and really enjoy it even though I left my cameras with a friend in India so I could travel lighter. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE Not much but looking forward to it:) I did hangout with Eric & Cory, who are both members, in Alaska. They are awesome people and we cooked some amazing meals together and climb a mountain and actually saw a bear so then Eric had to play his anti-bear trumpet. Pretty amazing day. I've so far stayed with two amazing hosts in Italy that have really warmed my heart with their generosity and hospitality. Now I’m having a wonderful time in 🇲🇽! What wonderful people which such rich history and a very rich culture. Peace, love and happiness❤️💙💜

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was born. Hahah! But really I am sure that was pretty amazing. Other than that I have had the pleasure of falling off a train in Malaysia/Thailand border, driving a taxi in Istanbul and almost being arrested, hitchhiking to the Dead Sea in a big truck by a guy who only spoke Arabic and amazing times in Afrika. Studying yoga and meditation less than a 15 mins from the Dalai Lama and seeing him speak twice, both times I cried. Traveling in Nepal during the blockade and learning to live without a lot of comforts we take for granted, suffering a traumatic brain injury and relearning simple things. Incredibly grateful for the things that have made me who I am today. I have met amazing inspiring people all over the world and absolutely love it!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love to cook!!! Also yoga, meditation, natural skincare, my travels in India and Nepal for the past year and half. And a big hug! Seriously we are too uptight a lot of times that we don't even hug each other. Always hug strangers and remember we are all connected and that stranger is you.😉
