CURRENT MISSION

To share love, kindness, awareness and inspiration

ABOUT ME

I love meeting all kinds of people, and am genuinely interested to learn from each person. I love the natural environment and go into the mountains, lakes or oceans whenever I get a chance. I love being physically active. My main passion is yoga and mindfulness and I try to integrate it into all that I do. I also love rock climbing, swimming, dancing, cycling, and walking in the mountains. I love trying new things- especially activities. I am a vegetarian and I like to stay healthy- body, mind and spirit. I am passionate to share what I have learned about yoga, mindfulness, taking care of the earth and each other through education.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe that life is about learning- from the Earth, eachother, and our experiences. I believe that life offers us the perfect opportunity to learn the lessons that we need to expand or deepen our awareness. When we take care of ourselves and each other and spend time in nature we gain deeper clarity on what we are and what we are here to create. I believe that we all come from the same place and are going back to the same place- we are all connected and a part of each other. It is the process of knowing that on a deeper level that we are here to experience and share.

Perché sono iscritto su Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am new to couch surfing. I am currently travelling with my friend who is also a couch surfer and now I am creating an account as well. We are travelling from Mazatlan Mexico to Panama- mas o menos.
Growing up my family was a member of servas (a similar organization- like couchsuring). We were members who hosted people from all over the world, and I remember my experiences of learning from these people as being integral to my understanding of a world community... a world family. I learned about different cultures and perspectives, and that everyone, in the core, is the same. We all share the same emotions, needs and states of being... I look forward to continuing this beautiful tradition of building our world community.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

From Mazatlan to Mexico City I have been travelling by bicycle with a fellow couch surfer. In the major cities we have stayed with couch surfing hosts. This has really deepened my experience of the cultures and places that we have been blessed to find. All of the people I have met have been amazingly wonderful and have contributed to my understanding of people and life in different ways. I am so grateful for having met each one of them.

Una cosa incredibile che ho fatto

I think what I am doing right now is pretty awesome- Travelling by bicycle from Mazatlan, Mexico to Panama.
I also backpacked through India, Nepal, Thailand, and Laos. I did the Annapurna circuit in Nepal, and I love hiking, rock climbing and camping in the mountains. I also travelled to Israel.
I am an avid yogi and have taught children, families, teens recovering from addictions, and all other ages yoga. I also teach art to all ages from 1.5 yrs and up.
I have spoken at a variety of conferences on bringing mindfulness into educational settings- this is a passion of mine! I taught and trained at a school that focused on mindfulness in Thailand for 3.5 months.
Every day I try to challenge myself to go outside of my comfort zone and to learn something new.

Insegna, impara, condividi

I would love to share my knowledge of yoga, staying healthy in body, mind, and heart.
Also enjoy doing art and can share art activities with people, although I am travelling by bicycle so I am not able to carry the materials to do group art projects, I can share ideas and inspiration.
I am mostly interested in learning Spanish. I also enjoy learning new activities (like boogie boarding, surfing...) about nature and plants, history, new places, ideas, crafts,and new recipes for vegetarian food.
