CURRENT MISSION

creative endeavors into the soul

ABOUT ME

I live in the Bay Area. I grew up in Nashville, but have lived all over. I spend my time reading, writing, practicing yoga, meditating, cooking, teaching, creating, and loving. My interests include whole foods, nutrition, vegan cooking, healthy living, gardening, sprouting, composting, hiking, backpacking, dancing, sewing, crochet, paper arts, poetry, rituals, full moons (moons of any sort really), candles, good music, farms, dinner parties, bare feet, energy work, getting in touch with my higher self, asking questions, travel, and especially adventure.

PHILOSOPHY

I dance therefore I am.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I try to connect with travelers, to share experiences, and to spread the word.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My couch has always been open to passers-by, and I have gotten by in quite a few places myself on other people's generosity.

音乐、电影和书籍

The Mists of Avalon (Bradley), The Kushel Series (Carey), Song of Ice and Fire Series (Martin), Siddhartha (Hesse), all things Richard Bach, Joseph Campbell, Paulo Coehlo. I also enjoy The Awakening (Chopin), Surfacing (Atwood), and several things Erica Jong. I adore Kundera, Kafka, Nietzsche, Rilke, Gibran, etc. I could go on.
As for music, I like a lot of different stuff, but tend to typically listen to mostly electronica, dubstep, drum and bass, or other stuff with awesome beats. Beats Antique, Amon Tobin, Pentaphobe, Natasha Atlas, Portishead, Lamb, Bassnectar, Thievery Corporation, Muse, and Pinback come to mind. Also, The XX, Tori Amos, Bat for Lashes, Fiona Apple, A Perfect Circle, Tool, Radiohead, Jenny Owen Youngs, Psapp, Dead Can Dance, and so on.
AS for movies, my all time fave is Dead Man. I also enjoy all things Kevin Spacey. And I Heart Huckabees, Requiem for a Dream, Dancer in the Dark, Clint Eastwood Spaghetti Westerns, Shawshank Redemption, and anything that is really, truly funny.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Moved forward in spite of fear.

教，学，和分享

I know a lot about nutrition, food, vegan cooking, healthy eating, making herbal remedies, bellydance and sewing. I can write you a poem, or teach you how to tell what phase the moon is in.
As for what I want to learn, that's everything. :)
