CURRENT MISSION

To help individuals and communities move along a spectrum of change towards more fulfilling, engaging possibilities that consider personal growth, education, health, food, and the environment as pivotal forces for improved quality of life.

ABOUT ME

philosopher, yogi, gardener, runner, scholar, compassionate animal lover

PHILOSOPHY

Enjoy each day for what it offers, to take time to notice each moment, appreciating and noticing it: to be kind, considerate, supportive, and giving to all beings (humans, animals, and plants); to help others access to healthful foods, medicines, activities, education, and energy/thought-patterns; to find the blend of all the things I care about most - education, eating good food, growing food, enjoying community, and the company of good friends and family; to be involved with activities that inspire awe and passion, a sense of adventure along with need for security; to make time for myself to recharge, to be active, to do yoga and meditate, and to flow with changes; to be creative - in thinking and in making beautiful art, even if it’s just to brighten up a living space. I love to create beautiful surroundings in my life - indoors and outside - that includes meeting new people and seeing where those paths lead.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Open door, open mind philosophy

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I believe that everyone should be able to travel anywhere and find an open door, welcoming people, good food, and a place to sleep. Money shouldn't prevent anyone from traveling the world.
