CURRENT MISSION

To be inspired, express myself, and connect with like minds.

ABOUT ME

I am an artist. I am an educator. I love the earth. I love forests and the sea. Some of my favorite things include running through fields under the moon, singing next to the ocean, sitting on trees that have fallen over a creek, wandering until I find a waterfall, swimming at night, tree climbing, rock climbing, being barefoot, mountain biking, beating the boys at pull-ups, playing the guitar and the violin, singing. I enjoy getting into adventures. I am open-minded, patient, and enjoy good philosophical discussions.

PHILOSOPHY

The only mistake is the one where I don't learn anything.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

When I travel I want to get a real taste of local life. I love to meet and adventure with the people living there. As far as hosting goes-I would like to host travelers interested in visiting the national forest in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia or going on rock climbing adventures in my local area but I love to make friends from all over so please-give me a shout!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I did my first CouchSurfing in Ireland where I stayed in Limerick and Dublin. Both of the people I stayed with were extremely kind and helpful. I had great conversations and got to go places I might not have thought to visit. They made me realize that CouchSurfers are some of the most interesting people a person could meet!

Centres d'intérêt

I am crazy about rock climbing. I have about 4 years experience. I am also a mountain biker, hiker, and runner. I enjoy anything that involves a physical challenge--especially in the outdoors. I am interested in projects related to improving the health of natural and human ecology, education, and art.

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

Some of the most amazing things I have ever seen were when I lived in the countryside in Virginia. I lived on 1000 acres in a house with no running water or indoor plumbing. I split wood to burn for heat. I learned to be very self sufficient and saw many amazing things. Some of the most beautiful were: coming home to find that the sky was filled with bright twinkling stars, flashes of heat lightning, and lighting bugs blinking everywhere as far as the eye could see--my entire world was a blur of twinkling light illuminating the night...then there was the time I awoke to find that every single blade of grass in the fields surrounding my house held a large spider web covered in dew that caught the light just as the sun was coming up causing the entire valley to glisten like a million sparking diamonds...I can not begin to explain how beautiful it can be where I live. I want to go see other beautiful places and share this place with others.

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

I love to share improvisational music and art. I enjoy spontaneous hikes and journeys in nature. I have knowledge about climbing, playing the violin, and working with children. I can teach Science.
