CURRENT MISSION (on hold while I’m away from home) I'm interested in hosting folks who really take the time to fill in their profile because they are genuinely interested in meeting and connecting with fellow travelers and contribute to the couchsurfing community by hosting themselves at home, or will when life allows

...walk, fly, teach, learn, listen, see, create, love, unite, finish, dance!

ABOUT ME
I've been an active member of CouchSurfing since 2005.
I'm just a soul who believes in beautiful places and curious people, and living for day break rushing headlong into a day that has never been before and never will be again. the best being those days on the road when you wake up somewhere you've never been before and go to sleep that night somewhere new you've never even dreamed of, having met new experiences and people that make you rebelieve in the wonder of the world, and it's myriad of possibilities
I still have my place in Delta, so if I'm down there while you're around I may be able to host.
I'm interested in finding natural wonders, great hikes, surfing, hot springs, volunteering, wonderful new friends and local culture, arts and cuisine. I'm a mural painter and art educator.

Musica, film e libri

Nanook of the North, V for vendetta...
Lotsa Music
~Rumi, Seuss, Rand, Dahl, Silverstein, Peet, Lewis, L'Engle, LeGuin, Neruda, Thoreau and more...
Fav. book: The Essential Rumi- Rumi (translation Coleman Barks)" No better love than love with no object, no more satisfying work than work with no purpose. If you could give up tricks and cleverness , that would be the cleverest trick! Dance when you're broken open. Dance, if you've torn the bandage off. Dance in the middle of the fighting. Dance in your blood. Dance, when you're perfectly free."

Una cosa incredibile che ho fatto

I almost slipped off a cliff face into the turbulent crashing ocean in New Zealand, trying to see further around the edge to a cove beyond.. no one in the world knew where I was and it really hit me that we are all really alone, free if we choose to be :)

Insegna, impara, condividi

i can share lots of art learning, educating experience, mural painting, yoga practice, organic farming, dance(spinning centrifically), arranging flowers, practice Thai massage and dry cabin living
i want to become proficient at french, spanish, generating electricity, butchering, tanning, hunting, fishing, building, investing, and add to my yoga and art teaching knowledge

Cosa posso offrire ai padroni di casa

My background is in painting murals and working with kids. I am always up for doing some yoga, art or sharing stories and laughs or hiking around the spongy tundra in my back woods...
