CURRENT MISSION

I seek to demonstrate care for all of humanity and the environment through sharing and engaging in art

ABOUT ME

I described most of me in the interest section so check that out... But here is an anecdote since your reading. As a very shy 3 year old child I was walking around in boulder, Colorado clinging to my parents and aunt and uncle as I always did. A Rasta man was drumming on the street and to my parents surprise I walked right up to him and started dancing and moving naturally to the music. To this day my uncle always tells me from that moment he knew he would have a hippie niece who was able to get groovy.

PHILOSOPHY

Love gently. Speak kindly. Live simply.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am new to couchsurfing but I am hoping to surf and meet some great people! And then eventually be in a place where I can return the favor!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

New to couchsurfing! But I have stayed with some memorable people in places all around the USA and in Costa Rica. I'll never forget an older couple-- Duane and Diane, I think (in a small town in Iowa) who were so warm, kind, and opened their fridge of beer and wine to some eager underage gals :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Shooting stars. They always take my breath away. Two of the brightest ones I've ever seen in particular: one was in Squamish BC Canada up on Elfin Lake and another recently on the beach in Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am embracing holistic living and aim to live a life free of toxicity. I would love to help someone find ways to rid their life of toxins in one or many ways. I love engaging in and teaching art and yoga with people of all ages, sizes, and abilities.
