About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Creator of Beauty.

ABOUT ME

I'm a social creature and enjoy connecting with others. I'm learning to play guitar and music is a huge part of my life. I see live music as much as possible and dance as I walk through life. Professionally, I'm a bodyworker/massage therapist. I love what I do and find the human body fascinating. Treating mine with love and respect. I want to be vital for as long as I live. Not to say I don't like a good party as well, gotta feed the soul too.I'm a wanderer by nature. I really enjoy exploration of the world and being of service.
I'm a facilitator for the Awakening the Dreamer symposium: www.awakeningthedreamer.org. Looking to help create paradigms shifts peacefully on our planet toward a more sustainable way of life.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is music and you're supposed to dance, sing, and have fun.
It's all about removing any obstacles that hide our true nature of love.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Joyfully. I'm a traveler who likes to help other travelers, so I think we have a fit. I find it's a fabulous resource for people wanting to connect and experience communities from an insiders view. I am fairly new to Tucson, however, so I may not be the best person to ask for "what to do".

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

One of the most beautiful spontaneous couch surfing experiences was when I was traveling in Austria with my friend Amy. She and I were hitching to the train station around dusk. A man picked us up on his way to work. We told him we were headed out on the next train and he informed us it didn't arrive until 4 a.m! He offered to take us with him. He worked within a mile of the train station and took us to an area with couches and showers and a kitchen to hang out until the train arrived.
