CURRENT MISSION:
Live happily, doing what you love

PHILOSOPHY

Life is like foam.One must dive into it and become one with the sea
-Alfonso Cuarón

I am an artist, predominantly painter and writer/poet. I love the ocean - I scuba dive and surf, and I love good food. I don't eat meat but I do eat seafood. Not a fan of dairy except yogurt. I love plants, yoga, and dancing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

For a place to stay and to meet locals to sight-see, and get a feel of the place from a local's perspective.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have only couch surfed a couple times, I have never hosted.
The couch surf experiences I had were both phenomenal.
