About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To help all living beings

ABOUT ME

I am an easy going but intense person who enjoys witty banter and having my paradigms explored/expanded. I enjoy health and lean greatly towards preventative medicine and natural health practices.

I aim to live simply, which means im not about the accumulation of things. I am always learning something. Right now I am working on a nutrition certification, Italian, hula hooping and juggling. In general, if you want to teach me something, im generally interested and willing to learn, and at the very least, listen. Life is short and there is sooooo much out there.

I love meeting new people but cannot tolerate dishonesty, exploitation, or bigotry. It can be a hard world to live in, i just want to be nice to people. ^_^

I'm also a (mostly raw) vegan and if you have any questions about a vegan lifestyle, I will help in any way I can! ^_^ I moderate a group on Facebook called The Raw Collective where we trade recipes and provide support and education! I love helping people (and animals alike)!

PHILOSOPHY

Do no harm
But take no sh*t <3

Silence is consent.
Speak out for the injustices that occur in your world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host while living in Rome, and meet people for coffee and yoga and general running around about town. When time permits i can give some sort of tour. it?s always a good time :)

I can also show you the vegan friendly restaurants and juice bars in Rome.

In July and august of 2014 I will be travelling across the UK, Netherlands, Spain and France. During this time, I will be working on a travel vlog , talking to other vegans about how they eat & live in their cities of residence and how they contribute to activism and spreading the message. My goal is to get vegans (particularly raw vegans) confident about being able to travel without being nervous about not being able to locate cruelty free food!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I stayed with couch surfers a few years ago accidentally while attending a massage workshop. Since then i have hung out with other couch surfers, for coffee or scrabble; given tours; host whenever possible and surf sometimes too.

You can really maximize your CS experience by actually finding people who you share interests, or at least interests you want to learn more about. Skill/information share is invaluable.

Interests

I do yoga, read, and make things (art, music, knit, cook food!). I also am a massage therapist and specialize in thai massage and deep tissue techniques!

I also love games, traveling, and laughing a lot!
I bagun hooping 6 years and have a great interest in circus arts. I've studied with Paola Burton, Gems Goddard, Gail O'Brien, Brecken Rivera, Tirana Zourmer, Nick ,and Steve Bags

I do a tiny bit of acro yoga and would love to learn more! Also want to begin rock climbing, it just looks so fun!

My heart is in activism and justice, along with counter culture and ways of living outside of the beaten path. I love occupied communities/ squats and the people who inhabit them- especially when they use their free time to promote social change.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I met a sheep herder and cheese* maker while hiking a mountain in the alps. I want to be their neighbors.

*I know, I am vegan and should be against this... you can ask me about it in person if you are really burning with curiosity. ;)

Teach, Learn, Share

Creative types are wonderful. Performers. Writers. Photographers. Artisans. That sort of thing.
