CURRENT MISSION

I am looking for a couch or extra room for long term surfing in Portland, Oregon

ABOUT ME

I am by nature a kind, funny, spontaneous person.
I often find myself traveling around the world to satisfy my curiosity about "how other people" live.
I often become a local vs. just a tourist.
My creativity has allowed me to take a hobby and turn it into a career. I offer creativity and life purpose coaching. Last year I did vocational counseling in Laos and Cambodia. I continue my work via Skype.

PHILOSOPHY

"Joy is the one human emotion that not can be debated.
It just is....
I know happiness and prefer to hang with happy people."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would like to meet other travelers and help create a global community of people who share the value of simple kind gestures with no expectations attached.
The things that I value most of the gifts I have given to others with no strings attached. These gift have allowed me to touch many people around the world.
Mostly it is the gift of laughter and joy!
