I am an extroverted introvert - I love social events, music festivals and connecting with others in spaces that yield high energy. I also really value time to disconnect and ground myself. I spend a lot of time in nature and love hiking more than words can even begin to describe. Through couch surfing and travel I also became addicted to rock and ice climbing.

I formerly studied and worked in allopathic medicine for 12 years. Over the past 3 years I made the more soul-aligned shift into holistic medicine and integrative healing practices. I have a passion for helping others and my vision is to be a catalyst for immense change; to be a guide through which others discover their true potential and worth, and to create a space and a community where those with a deep reverence for life and a desire to heal and to grow as a collective can feel seen, heard and held in their entirety.

My other passions include writing, podcasting, singing, playing piano, dancing, horseback riding, various forms of physical activity and any endeavours that challenge the psyche and thought processes. I love animals, really enjoy cooking and love learning new things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am navigating my way through a very transformational phase in my life. I recently left my job and home country and am travelling as a way to expand my passions for adventure and the outdoors while also doing some self-discovery and furthering my own knowledge and skills to pursue my true purpose in life. I am looking to develop connections with fellow adventure-seekers, those who dare to dream big and step outside of the norm. I have heard great things about couch surfing and think it could be a really beautiful opportunity to meet new people, foster some new and meaningful connections and continue to explore.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music preferences are vast - I grew up with Clapton, The Eagles, CCR, and many of the classics. I work out to hip hop, EDM and basically anything that gets me movin' and groovin'. Otherwise, you can find me listening to some Einaudi pieces, dabbling in some Indie and Country and basically anything aside from rap, heavy metal and screamo.

I'd be here all day listing my favorite books. Currently reading 'Care Package' by Sylvester McNutt and 'Anatomy of the Spirit' by Carline Myss. Most recent favs include The Power of Now and Untethered Soul

I haven't owned a TV in 8 years. I do enjoy a good movie night, but I'm no movie guru. Being an adrenaline junkie, I love any movie that can get my heart racing and I'm also a sucker for a good Rom Com.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Stood up for what I believed and said no to remaining stagnant at a job that was not truly fulfilling and in a place where I felt I had reached a ceiling for my personal growth.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love teaching and learning. I believe we all have incredibly unique gifts to share with this world, and I believe my gifts and my purpose revolve around sharing my voice and my words through writing and music, and in helping others discover their own life purpose. I am a healer at heart, and I thrive off of energy. I have always been highly intuitive and a strong visionary. I often feel alone in today's society that thrives off of instant-gratification, superficial connections and fulfillment of the proverbial bucketlist items we are taught to check off (get a job, buy a house, get married, have kids)...So, here I am. Looking to foster deep, meaningful connections, explore some incredible places and expand my level of consciousness and expertise while I do so. If this resonates with you, I would love to connect.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am a neat-freak and take a lot of pride in my spaces and possessions. I will treat your home with the same respect I would treat my own. I can offer engaging, meaningful conversation and deep belly laughs. I would love to connect to fellow adventurers who are interested in hiking, climbing, horseback riding, and being out exploring this incredible world we live in. I am more than happy to share my knowledge and skills and very willing to learn from others who share similar interests.
