About Me
ABOUT ME
I am an visual and performing artist. I am relaxed, easy-going, a bit spacey, loving, kind hearted, fun, creative, and silly.
My Husband and I moved to Konstanz, Germany in the fall of 2014. He is working on his PhD in chemistry. We are hoping to travel in Europe while live here.
I spend a lot of time working on trapeze, dance, handstands, and learning capoeira.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
To meet new people and share the love of the world!
Interests
I do so many physical things...Circus, Performing, Acrobatics, Capoeira, Trapeze, Acroyoga. I love to be outside and surrounded by nature...hiking, biking, skiing, rock climbing (but I haven't climbed in a long time). I try to do a daily meditation. I have been practicing yoga for about 10 years and Ashtanga for the past 2 years. I studied fine arts in the past and love drawing and painting, although I do not make a lot of time for it now. I love to travel and explore new places.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
This is a difficult question to answer. I know I have seen and done so many amazing things in my life thus far.
Watching a monarch catepillar make a crysillis. Its is a fine art. Amazed at the color, detail and delicacy of the creation that I happen to be at the right moment. I enjoy the details in nature, patterns, colors and light, both natural and man-made, or the contrast of both....always amaze me.
Hiking in Patagonia with my three best friends was an amazing adventure. We experienced the beauty of the landscape, of strangers, and trusting the universe.
Teach, Learn, Share
Would love to share cooking, storytelling, a walk or hike. I can teach some acrobatic moves. Would like to learn more languages.
