CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME
I'm a 30-year-old artist, maker, traveler, ex-consultant, and aspiring healer. I practice inspired gong fu cha tea service, and I like to play music. Here in California I am a co-founder of an eight person cooperative, The Wondership. I would not be the nurturing, patient, transparent, strong, and committed person I am today without these experiences, and I am constantly amazed at our shared values for this type of living.

PHILOSOPHY

"always perfect everything perfect."
"be excellent to everyone, and party on dudes"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Right now I participate by being an excellent guest. As I surf, I love making coffee and breakfast, bourbon and dinner. Since moving to California six years ago, I lived in 4 intentional communities. We always have tons of characters from all over the world who came for a few days to a few months. It is so nice to offer those in need, who have just crash-landed in one of densest city in the US, a safe and warm place to get their duckies together.
Living in a community has enhanced my general appreciation for helping others. It's not something to be commended or noted, because it's just the way we live. I often catch myself saying "of course" instead of "you're welcome" which I think is an excellent summary of how I feel on sharing.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've always been a hostess for those in need. Unofficially, but we've all been there. I'm always the one to feed and shelter you on a cold rainy day and make sure you're well taken care of before you face the outside world again. Living in Boston in a house with 2 actual roommates and 5 surrogate ones turns you into a full time host/mother. This concept is something that I thrived off of in college & happily embraced/encouraged. There is nothing I love more than feeding people. These unofficial but same in-concept experiences turned me into the happy wholesome person that I am today.

What I Can Share with Hosts

People keep commenting on this warm energy that I apparently have. I'm also an excellent coffee and Belgian waffle maker. Planning on hosting a little stand "KiKi's Coffles" to share these breakfast standards and celebrate both of these skills.
