CURRENT MISSION

Be present.

ABOUT ME

I am a very compassionate and easy going person. I believe life is meant to be lived with intention, that we have many lives rolled into one, and that its an ever evolving beautiful and painful process that is beyond amazing.

Ive done the bulk of my traveling when couchsurfing was a way to get by, not a website/platform. The creation of this community alone makes it so worthwhile to be traveling again with hopes to meet all these wonderful people behind incredible profiles.

So, a bit about me: I love yoga, bike riding, all nature, suncooking, health and natural healing, reiki, writing, photography, art, meeting new people, adventures, being alone, being with people, having fun, learning about new cultures, new languages, the OCEAN and scuba diving, swimming, sitting in hot springs!

I am a raw vegan chef. And amateur farmer studying plant science, urban agriculture and food justice. Currently living in Cayman Islands. I never hurt flies ( except mosquitos and sand flies deserve to die) and smile at strangers and children. I love my veggies. I am always on the mission to learn more. I love philosophy, spirituality, history; the beautiful world in general. I try to live a very sustainable life and tend to gravitate toward people that wanna hug some trees. But I'm open to everyone!

PHILOSOPHY

Try to make the world a better place.

Always take the risk.

We must be willing to let go of the life we planned so as to have the life that is waiting for us.
Joseph Campbell

Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has.
Margaret Mead

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Connecting, sharing, and being open.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

AH-mazing!! What a fantastic platform to connect to the world!! I have had these incredible experiences filled with people that have opened up their homes and hearts to me. Humanity is alive and well in CS'ers (at least the ones Ive met). Sometimes its hard to imagine that kindness and generosity towards strangers still exist.. especially when I walk down the streets of NYC and nobody makes eye contact!!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was circled by three sharks off the coast of Lombak. Fed an orangutan an orange slice in wild primary jungle in Sumatra. I've been surrounded by some of the most painfully breathtaking parts of nature and human nature and felt my world cave in from beauty and kindness. Im a lucky girl to have had so many experiences!
