CURRENT MISSION

Share life, love, experiences, and laughs with as many people as possible

ABOUT ME

What can I say... I am a gypsy at heart but life is forcing me to take a break from traveling so much. I am fun, artsy, and completely random most of the time. I am a musician that has played a lot of unconventional settings such as ren faires and bellydance troupes, I've also been a fire performer for 6 years so far and feel like poi has taught me a lot about the beauty of life. I want to see the good in people and the kindness in humanity so I am passionate about seeing and experiencing life in many cultures and communities.
I love hearing people's stories over a beer or coffee and sharing some of my own. I love music and fire performance so when I travel my poi, fiddle, guitar, and drums are always with me. I hope to meet some awesome people during my travels and host fellow travelers as well.

PHILOSOPHY

All you need is love.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can host and hope to continue surfing in the future. I decided to set up my own account since I no longer travel with friends, hope to meet some amazing people hosting.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I survived the May 22, 2011 Joplin, MO tornado, I will never forget the day when an EF5 tornado landed my my families backyard, it brought the greatest destruction I have ever seen and also united an entire city, they are still rebuilding today.

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to discover how to love people better because I believe that love is the answer to every problem, every question, and the reason we are all here. Every person is unique and gifted to express love in their own way and that's what makes every person a gift to be discovered. I hope to help people find out who they are as I find out who I am, I can also cook some dank grub if ya ask :)
