CURRENT MISSION

To be present in every moment as pure awareness, accepting of everything and everyone.

ABOUT ME

Summer 2014: I've been WWOOFing (working on organic farms) for the past couple months in the Northwest and am on my way home to Austin.
Summer 2015 update --- last summer was so much fun, I'm doing it again. I'm generally very happy to camp in remote places but when I want to explore a city I need a place to stay that doesn't take more than an hour to get to, so hello.

I have my own bedding but if you have extra padding then that would be awesome.

I make amazing salads that are like complete meals, and I'd be happy to make one for you.

I can be totally unintrusive, or I can interact with people if invited. I don't like to "party" but I do enjoy good conversation.

PHILOSOPHY

I like this quote from my best friend: "My current concept of 'me' is a big empty space in which a lot of other things happen."

And this one from Krishnamurti: "My secret is this: I don't mind what happens."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My history with CS is minimal as of June 2015. I have had one guest and I've stayed at one place as a guest, and both were excellent experiences.

I can get heavily into conversations with people when we connect in the right way but most of the time I'm very quiet and I do my own thing. I clean up after myself and I mostly don't use other people's stuff because I prefer to be self-contained and to leave no trace, and it's just simpler.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Near death experiences changed everything. Traveling and seeing the immense beauty of the world. People's stories often amaze me, and the things people endure and achieve also amaze me.

Teach, Learn, Share

There is only Now. This is literally the truth, anyone can observe it. There is only one reality and it is entirely present in this moment. It is complete and it cannot be any other way. Our non-acceptance of present reality, along with our failure to be present, causes most of the suffering in life.

Countries I’ve Visited

Belgium, Canada, England, France, Germany, Switzerland
