CURRENT MISSION

To experience ongoing adventures, find new friends all over the world, explore cultures and ideas and ways of living, while dedicated to my personal growth and evolution

ABOUT ME

I grew up in California and now live in Portland, Oregon. I am a happy and healthy minded woman, I love people and I love life and all of its mysteries, gifts, twists, and turns. I am addicted to learning - the more I find out, the more I realize I don't know, and the more I want to know about everything, especially all things related to spirituality, psychology, and health!

Holistic health is very important to me as I believe it relates and intertwines with all areas of life. Keeping the mind and physical body heaIthy means having the energy and happiness needed to fully enjoy life. I love hiking as much as possible, foraging for wild foods and mushrooms, yoga, dancing, live music, eating clean whole organic foods, meditation, and traveling of course!

I am really excited to continue meeting wonderful and interesting people all over the world through couchsurfing! :D

PHILOSOPHY

We humans are all good hearted at our core and have the same needs deep down. We can discover this through deeply connecting to ourselves and others. I live to continuously cut through the illusions I have acquired throughout my life. I am constantly seeking truth - the deepest truth comes from within, from meditating and listening to that still quiet voice.

I believe the gift of life is the most precious gift we have, and I give thanks for it!! :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I strive to be a considerate, pleasant, friendly, couchsurfer while staying in others offered spaces. When I eventually have a place of my own, I would love offer my own home and assistance to fellow adventurers as well.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have stayed with hosts in Costa Rica, Peru, and Florida. All my experiences have been very positive, wonderful actually! I am so grateful for this website and the connections it cultivates!

Interests

Mountains, trees, animals, oceans, deserts, rocks, crystals, sunshine, wind, camping, traveling, swimming, exploring, exercising, meditation, learning, and yoga! I adore live music of all kinds, festivals, art, movies, sewing costumes, dressing up... all things creative! I play the guitar as well and thrive on organic vegan foods!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was struck by lightning while visiting Machu Piccu in Peru, and I was unharmed! It was horrifying, thrilling, and deeply meaningful.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share substantial information on nutrition - all types of veggie diets especially. I have good knowledge of yoga that I will happily share as well. In addition I can also provide reiki energy treatments if desired. I would like to learn so much more about other cultures and their ways of perceiving this reality. If you play guitar, perhaps we can play together as well!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Tasty vegan treats, laughter, motivation, and yoga!
