CURRENT MISSION

Understanding Health & Happiness in a global context!

ABOUT ME

Wow! me in a paragraph, ok...
I am interested in most everything, but television. I've always thought a lot. I try to pay attention to my dreams. I'm not embarrassed about eating well or exercising. I'm concerned about the environment, and what I/we can do for it. I like animals, plants too. Even children! I'm lucky to have great friends and family. I am very liberal. I like taking risks. I know reincarnation to be real, as I have died of laughter many times only to come back for more. I resist asking the question "so what do you do?", nor do I answer "how much do you bench?". I love original films, documentaries too. I've always had a thing for good pants. I speak English & French. I look forward to getting to know couch surfers around the world. I genuinely hope you have a stellar day!! ;-)

PHILOSOPHY

I'm currently living my life to a) ask questions b) seek answers c) catch a glimpse of what human experience can be d) gain some understanding of reality and possibility e) have fun seeking health & happiness, and sharing what I can with others f) be interested/interesting!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

As I'm brand new at CS, I am in the beginnings of my efforts towards couch surfers success. For now I pledge to a) be a great guest b) tell cool people all about how to use CS in providing/finding a couch c) promote a healthy lifestyle!!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had my best experience surfing on a coach/hide-a-bed with my friend in Paris. He schooled me on how French people really live/talk/think, and enabled me to forge new friendships in France. Hostels are cool, but surfing really kicks ass!!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Depends what you consider amazing. I find seeing break dancer and snow/skate boarders blows my mind. Then again so does a magnified view of human tissues beside Hubble telescope pics. And actually, when I learn and think a little about what it takes scientifically to produce any given action or historically to arrive at any end, I can fall into a state of perma-wonder pretty easily. Not trying to duct the question but just being honest, I'd have to say that everything that I or anyone/anything has ever done is amazing in some way(s), and seeing that is about as good as anything I do.

Teach, Learn, Share

Pro-actively pursuing health and happiness, using tools of Philosophy, Food, Exercise, Psychology, Recreation and Communication, mostly! Career, university education, personal past time and professional credentials as "Professional Fitness & Lifestyle Consultant". My interests are, as mentioned, all encompassing (with the exception of tv talk!) and I enjoy learning about anything interesting and helpful. I share my thoughts and fruit shakes with anyone interested!
