I am into health and wellness, especially spirituality as personal growth. Quiet, but I love meeting new people and going to new places and experiencing the world in new and exciting ways. I have studied many religions, many types of spirituality, have written many books, and most of all like to have fun. You can learn more about me from my Facebook page which will lead you to my website.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have a burning desire to see the world, to meet new people, and to really get to know a place to di love those who live there. To me it seems like the most adventurous way to do the travel I would like to do, plus it doesn't cost too much.

Interests

I like kayaking, hanging out in coffee shops, walking around cities where I've never been before, and saying and you sites. I like reading, writing, listening to all types of music and hanging out sometimes finding things to do with no set schedule or agenda. I love that. I really like strange people too, the weirder the better as long as they are not crazy, violent, or hurtful.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like all kinds of music to be truthful. I like New Wave, jazz, blues, early eighties rock, and the old rockers like Pink Floyd. For books I like sci-fi - fantasy type stuff. I even like to write it. I like some philosophy books and and some books on quantum physics and on spirituality. Also books on strange things like animal communication extraterrestrials and so on. For movies I like sci-fi movies and adventure movies.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I completed a three year course in five forms kenpo for health and longevity in 9 months. These were very difficult forms and I still don't know how I did it. I must have really been driven. I was working full time at the time and also studying Qigong. I also almost died three times. I think that living is pretty amazing...sometimes. ;-) While running a church and being on about 17 committees I also completed a Doctoral Program on Spirituality and a Reiki Master Program.

Teach, Learn, Share

I teach spirituality, meditation, Tai Chi and Qigong and do life coaching to help empower people to gain control over their lives. I am always learning, watching at least one documentary per week. And I take courses whenever I can on various forms of spirituality and growth. As a licensed massage therapist I am also taking courses on various healing modalities every two years.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Can exchange body work for food or go through some meditation technique with them. Perhaps do a little bit of life coaching or just hanging out. Share thoughts, ideas, viewpoints about the world and about live. Drink a few beers. Bring a six pack, who knows. I think we would have to decide that together. I am a bit overly educated, so I can talk about many things. I see it as overly educated. I took a test once--a career assessment test where they said I was very cynical and positive at the same time. I don't know what that means, but I can offer that.
