About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To live well, be well, eat well, learn and achieve complete freedom...again!

ABOUT ME

Well, I am a young active mind, friendly person, hardworking, determined...destined for greatness!

PHILOSOPHY

Well, my personal philosphy dates back to my Kindergarten years where the most important rule was: Treat others as you want to be treated. I certainly do that. I believe that the energy I put out is the energy I receive. I try to keep it real and utterly positive at the same time! I love life and am thankful for the experiences the universe has created for me

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I like to contribute by being a model and spreading knowledge. But, I'm willing to help in any way I can that would be beneficial to the cause. When I am in a more permanent living situation, I will host and host and host on my couch!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Well, I haven't had any couch surfing experiences as of yet, but that's why I have joined the movement. I believe the world is a safe place. I enjoy traveling and I think this is going to make my traveling experiences (and others') much more enjoyable!

Interests

I love Spanish, traveling, taking care of myself, yoga, working with children, the ocean mountains, whales, monkeys, planet earth, my life, people, animals, kombuchaa, seafood, and reading...and sometimes basketball!

Music, Movies, and Books

I like world music. I've especially been into electronica lately. I enjoy Jazz, for real hip hop, the majority of Latin music, soul, some folk stuff, tracey Chapman, manu Chao, blues. I'm all across the board with music, but I really don't do country...For some reason...I just don't.

Reading: Chiamanda ngozi adiche= super good! Otherwise, I've been reading some anais nin, paulo coehlo, deepok Chopra, yoga magazines. I really enjoy women writers. I think all women who are learning to love their period, ought to read, The Red Tent by Anita Diamant. It's super good. Right now, I'm reading an academic book about the harmful effects towards women of globalization and another book called Random Family which is a 20 year case study of one family in the bronx...it's excellent!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Really, as cheesy as this sounds, the most amazing thing I've ever done is teach young people. The imact is so huge and so long lasting that it is an incredible feeling everytime you reach a young person and witness progress and positive change.

But, recently, I saw a whale breach in the wild. I wasn't on a boat looking for them. I was just on a gorgeous beach early one lucky morning walking out into the water and I saw this enormous figure come out of the water and fall right back in. It was FUCKING great!

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to learn about space and planets and animals, and more about yoga. I could teach a little bit about all those things as well. But, I would definitely be able to teach others about basketball, tennis, managing classroom behavior, many women's issues, some Spanish, U.S. history and social studies, also about many psychological issues (I have a degree in psychology, not from experience ;) ). Really, I would be interested in learning about lots of things and probably would be able to teach or atleast engage one in thought provoking conversations in lots of things that I didn't list. That's the beauty of learning from another person, right? You don't know exactly what you're going to get until you've had time to reflect. Yes, Let's do this!
