ABOUT ME
www.LawrenceRincon.com

I o̶w̶n̶ ̶a̶ ̶w̶e̶l̶l̶n̶e̶s̶s̶ ̶c̶e̶n̶t̶e̶r̶ ̶a̶n̶d̶ practice Structural Integration in C̶o̶l̶o̶r̶a̶d̶o̶,̶ ̶F̶l̶o̶r̶i̶d̶a̶,̶ ̶a̶n̶d̶ Brasil.

I value fresh simple foods from the land, a return to community , hand-made, un-plugged, artisan, permaculture lifestyle. It is my challenge to integrate or balance this modern lifestyle with what the earth needs.

But I also love dark alleyways, kooky folk-art, graffiti, working-class and cosmopolitan nightlife, experimental theater, dancing until dawn, street biking and up cloudy mountain peaks.

I live in Brazil aiming to master Forró and working with indigenous plant-medicine knowledge in community rituals to create and touch the divine

PHILOSOPHY

Gratitude, be nice to people, smile, dance, ride a bike everywhere ,home-cooking with fresh food from the earth and dance dance dance with community.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I tell everybody I know about 3 things in life ... CS traveling, vipassana, and Brasil.

Of those handful of people I can call on when in an emergency, 3 were made here on CoushSurfing. Sweet, kind-hearted, fun, intelligent, compassionate , creative people ... i love you michael, haylie, shaun !

Ask not what CS can do for you, ask what you can do for CS ! Like the things that really matter in life, the more you give to it , the more you receive = CS !

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

50,000 years ago, about 50 people walked out of africa and populated the rest of the world. It is our nature to migrate and meet the many expressions of humanity in our brothers and sisters around the world.... it is a conscious evolving blessing -our greatest sages,prophets, gods and fools all travelled. The road is life and introduces you to yourself,coming around the corner. Sometimes its painful, sometimes its funny... but somewhere out there is smile, a warm shower and safe place to be tired. We are each a unique history, a fantastically original shape of experiences to be shared..... cheers
