About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I believe that my current mission to learn, to teach (when I can), to listen, to be compassionate and to help when and where I can.

ABOUT ME

I am a passionate Pacific Northwestener who somehow, keeps getting farther away, and as a result has lived and worked in numerous locations and countries-and confusingly, loved the challenges and adventures associated with that.

PHILOSOPHY

Nothing is permanent- I try to remember this always and in that sense, acknowledge that while nothing is permanent and there is nothing to be attached to, I should everything as sacred!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am new to couchsurfing and hope to host once I have a suitable home, and am happy to meet up and help out until then. I am very interested in surfing when I travel, as I think that that is the best way to learn about a country and just have a good time in a new place - I think traveling is more about the people you meet then the places you go (or most of the time it is! )

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have very limited experience at the moment - I have only surfed once, and since moving back to the US haven't really participated at all, but I am excited to get involved again especially because my host made my first time experience so memorable!

Interests

Books, writing, african dance, cooking, languages, yoga,, hiking, biking, running, talking, listening, politics... movies... taking chances and trying new things!
