CURRENT MISSION

Get as many ToDos as possible off my list before I die!!

ABOUT ME

I love art, creation, music, movement, nature, philosophy, psychology, discovering and exploring new places and things, appreciating, enjoying, indulging, bathing in the new.

PHILOSOPHY

"Liebe dein leben und dein leben liebt dich" (Love your life and your life will love you)

“Being happy doesn't mean that everything is perfect. It means that you've decided to look beyond the imperfections.”

“A man's errors are his portals of discovery.”

“Ordinary riches can be stolen, real riches cannot. In your soul are infinitely precious things that cannot be taken from you.”

“A cloud does not know why it moves in just such a direction and at such a speed. It feels an impulsion. this is the place to go now. But the sky knows the reasons and patterns behind all clouds. And you will know, too, when you lift yourself high enough to see beyond horizons.” -Richard Bach, Illusions

"I shall allow no man to belittle my soul by making me hate him."

"Live to the point of tears"

"everything you do out of love has a future"

"the less i need the more i have"

"I believe human affection, or compassion, to be the universal religion. Whether a believer or nonbeliever, everyone needs human affection and compassion, because compassion gives us inner strength, hope and mental peace. Thus, it is indispensable for everyone." - Tenzin Gyatso, the Dalai Lama

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've met (really cool, awesome!) people that are Couchsurfers by chance before signing up on here (part of the reason I signed up now) but since I've been a member, I have never been a host or guest myself :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Too many to name but this one stands out:

Getting to the top of Haleakala in Hawaii just before sunrise and seeing the deep blue sky filled with stars like I have never seen before! The sunrise was of course magical, too...above the clouds, like I had just died and been reborn into paradise

Also:

Jetskiing around Koh Tao

Sunset at Boom Festival, spending time with new friends, drinking mojitos

Many moments on the dancefloor, feeling connected to mother earth and the beautiful people around me
