About Me

CURRENT MISSION

A year of roam schooling with my 12-yr old son and adventure!

ABOUT ME

I am a molecular biologist turned holistic healer using principles of quantum physics. Love anything mind-blowing like quantum physics, moving towards awakening, try to live with consciousness and lightly on the earth and teach my son the same. Love Bikram yoga, meditation, adventure, connecting with people, listening, learning, teaching. I love animals and nature, especially mountains and waterfalls. I'm pretty geeky and love doing research about healing, nutrition, anything health related. You can find out more about me and what I do at my website: www.heartfullhealing.com

PHILOSOPHY

I live because I am. I am here and I am human, so I am living the human experience, trying to experience all that I can which comes my way. Trying to live with very little impact on the environment and very little money because I dislike the wasted resources that consumerism creates.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have hosted a few people since joining. Then I traveled for a year with my son. We stayed at people's houses in Bali, Singapore, Amsterdam and Malaysia (CSer's officially) and in Israel and Geneva/Paris with old friends, all on the same trip.

The best times we had were when we were staying with local people and doing things with them. We got to see and experience what local people do, not what is tourist-y. That's the best!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have a friend who hosted some people who became very good friends of mine. This is how I learned about couchsurfing. I hosted 3 people before leaving my house and all my stuff to travel the world this year.

Interests

yoga, diving, snorkeling, reading, yoga, keeping in shape, eating healthy, nutrition, researching health related topics, meeting people from other countries - love to hear their stories.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love the Harry Potter books! No favorite movie at the moment. I am careful about the music I listen to, the lyrics need to be appealing. I like silence more than music b/c I find that a song will be stuck in my mind for a long time after hearing it. I don't like that! I also like live music, played with heart and soul - that speaks to me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The thing that comes to mind is trekking in the Himalayas.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach people to become more aware of their bodies, feelings, health and eating choices, if they are interested. I can also share my view of quantum physics, without all the geeky mathematics! I want to learn just about anything, especially things specific to someone's culture. I also love hearing travel stories.

I like sharing travel experiences.

Countries I’ve Visited

Australia, Bahamas, Canada, Egypt, France, French Polynesia, Germany, Indonesia, Israel, Italy, Jamaica, Jordan, Laos, Malaysia, Mexico, Nepal, Saint Lucia, Singapore, Sweden, Thailand, United Kingdom, Virgin Islands, U.S.
