CURRENT MISSION

Experience life as fully, deeply, and honestly as possible

ABOUT ME
A sunny woman from California on a mission to grow, explore, love, and heal

My Story:

Raised among avocado trees and veggie patches on a hill in San Diego, California I spent my days playing in the mud with a pack of big dogs, a menagerie of other pets, and wiley neighborhood kids. Every Sunday we went to beach. It set a tone for the rest of my life as I found a passion for both Science and Spirituality in my love for nature.

I'm all about perpetual growth, discovery, and a total embrace of natural cycles of ups, downs, lefts, rights, challenges, and triumphs.

Please, lets connect and create more juicy awesome wonderful.

We DESERVE this, and I LOVE YOU

PHILOSOPHY

Infinite Love and Gratitude.

I believe in the awesome power of your thoughts and emotions in creating your reality.

Life is meant to be FUN and we are here to have a HUMAN experience in all it's earthly delights- in it's fullness of duality- of triumph and tragedy.

It's time for us to get out of our heads a bit and sink down into our heart spaces

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Every way possible when I've got the time and inclination. For the past 2.5 years my housemate has had a new baby so I've only been able to host when they were away and I have only surfed twice, in Bangkok, which was so important for my love of BKK and Thailand! I did enjoy hosting and going to events for my first year and a half in Chiang Mai and when I was living in Amphawa, Thailand, and Rhode Island, USA.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've been hosting, surfing, and attending events for a few years, CSers are my tribe! I have met some friends I am now very close to and been delighted, inspired, and impressed by many others!

Music, Movies, and Books

Yep, I like them.

I usually have 6 books going at once- Fiction, Spirituality, Self-Help etc.

Music: anything I can dance to or that chills me out, as long as it feels genuine. I've always loved folk and indie but lately I have grown to love psychadelic electronic music especially psytrance, and psybient. I also really love Kirtan and all forms of mantra. Music is always best live!

Film: I enjoy most types of film, especially uplifting, inspiring, or informative. Sometimes I need chocolate and terrible romance movies, not sorry about those days. Also, these documentaries shook me up and inspried me: I AM, The Quantum Activist, Zietgiest, THRIVE, GMO OMG, Food Inc, What in the World Are They Spraying?, The End of Suburbia, and Forks Over Knives.

Teach, Learn, Share

People' s philosophy and interests are fascinating to me. I want to hear all about it and share mine with you too.

I am, by nature, a teacher. I know a little about a lot and love to share my many passions.

I have worked as a naturalist/educator at a wildlife preserve in New England and have a degree in Zoology- so I'm well versed in all things science- Chemistry, Biology, Ecology etc. Let's go for a hike!

I am interested in all things regarding sustainability and I'm very very very interested in FOOD- sustainable agriculture and consumption are near and dear to me. I'm a great cook and eat mostly vegan.

I have been practicing yoga and meditation for over 10 years and would be happy to share.

I also have an arsenal of advice and techniques for positive thinking I'd be happy to share.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Vegan cooking amazingness, laughter, yoga, meditation, deep talks, and silly banter. Also happy to help out with thing around the house or garden and I could show you some sweet dance/hoop moves too.

I'm independent, adaptable, flexible, and easy going.
