CURRENT MISSION

to become the greatest, grandest version of myself and to help others do the same.

ABOUT ME

I've been something of a nomad for the past five years. New York, Chicago, southern California, Philadelphia, San Antonio, St. Louis, New York...

Now, I'm ready to take on the rest of the world. :)

I believe we're spirits having a human experience and life is making me more human and more spiritual at the same time. I love to experience myself as love so I make being love in motion a practice as much as possible. I don't always succeed, but it is always in the back of my head and the top of my heart.

I have a blog about being better: http://www.whatmyworldslike.com. I tweet at http://www.twitter.com/elleepiphany.

I want to see the world and find the common threads. Find the beauty in everywhere and everyone. I want to have amazing conversations and create inspiring, meaningful relationships. I want to be a part of the solution.

I want to meet you if you care about humanity/spirituality. :)

PHILOSOPHY

find the good. be inspired.
amidst it all, be love.

i'm on a perpetual quest to become my best. i try to practice a lot of things: gratitude, forgiveness, love, kindness, acceptance. i've yet to perfect the craft of each, but i am constantly being prompted to work on it. sometimes it's hard. but you fall, you get back up.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm willing to share a bit of myself: passions, conversations, information...genuine love and care. Since I'm traveling, I can't host at the moment.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've surfed twice in Barcelona and once in the Dominican Republic. Each was an awesome experience. What's better than meeting open-minded AND open-hearted people? Not too much.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

i've climbed the largest active volcano to exist in a body of freshwater. it was my first hike but i'm alive to recount the tale. :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I know a lot of random things and am graciously willing to share whatever information I can.

Off the top of my head, if you want to learn how to make your own yogurt or thread your eyebrows, we should meet. :)

I've learned how to be happy and how to have natural highs.

I'm always learning, thus I'm always sharing.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm generally always willing to try to be a light and lend an ear, hand, or shoulder. Kind of a jill of all trades vibe, I know a little about a lot. Lately, I'm obsessed with essential oils and love talking about them.

I can share a humanistic philosophy.
