About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Introducing myself and my homeland to the world.

ABOUT ME

I am enjoying a new state of life - a state that tells me there is something I need to share with other countries and cultures. I think I need to share my belief that life/reality/our lives are completely and unrelentingly awesome at all times of the day, night and even at times when it feels there is no time. It is my mission to challenge myself to continually live this way.

PHILOSOPHY

The power to change is within. The problems humanity faces are curable by us because they were created by us. We need only to recognize, and put into action, the unlimited power we possess.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I surf and host. I try to share my experience with couchsurfers and be present and attentive to everyone's needs concerns and natural gifts.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Had a great time with hosts in New Mexico and hosting travelers from Canada and Georgia.

Interests

Im interested in music, art, culture and education. Whenever I travel somewhere new I tend to study up on the history of the place before I go. I like to know what has been happening in places and how people have come to settle there. Additionally, I like to interview people for my Instagram TV page to share my experience with others people with others. Please direct me to your local independent bookstore, record store or thrift store. Thank you!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Communication with nature has left the biggest impression on me. The silent language in the skies of the southwest are life-changing. Being in communion with flowing water is also amazing. I like to say I baptized myself in the Ho River in the NW peninsula of Washington state, USA. Tis a beautiful, sacred place!

Teach, Learn, Share

I think Im mostly here to learn. However I may be able to teach someone through the process of dialogue. I have knowledge of the Buddhism I practice - one of the lessons I have learned from it is "turning poison into medicine." I would love to share literature I have on the subject.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My enthusiasm for meeting them and my willingness to buy them a hot, chai tea.
