About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to choose the creative over the destructive

ABOUT ME

I believe myself to be nothing more than the sum of my experiences and as such I seek to fill my life with as much good food, conscientiousness, consciousness, openness, health, activity, life, beauty, positivity, knowledge, creativity and thoughtfulness as I can.

PHILOSOPHY

it is my firm belief that it is a mistake to hold firm beliefs

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

By providing a space conducive to celiac, gluten-free, dairy-free living, vegan living, vegetarian living, raw food diet or whatever your diet may be, I know how difficult travel is for those with special food needs and am more than happy to help those who are trying to see the world without poisoning themselves.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I want to be able to share the excess space I have and enrich somebody's traveling experience by lending a helping hand, word and couch.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have taken the time to appreciate hundreds of sunsets and sunrises in my life, have witnessed incredible acts of kindness and have seen many genuinely good people. I have ridden my bicycle in the rain and in the sun, up hills and down. I have sailed on sailboats, stood on mount vesuvius, seen a mountain-top snow-melt lake and then hiked down to a beach in the same day. I have cooked dinner with my mother, cooked dinner for my friends and have found incredible contentment in small things. Everyday is filled with amazing things done and seen.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a decent knowledge of raw/vegan food, how to cook it and the arguments which support it. I am very familiar with issues related to food allergies, mostly around Celiac disease, gluten and dairy intolerances. I am always ready to talk about diets ideas, the mechanics of our food systems or really anything at all. I am a perpetual student and believe that keeping an open mind to all things is an essential component to a happy life.
