i love to study cultures through music, food, and language. ever since i was a kid, i've been obsessed with world maps geography. using art and healing as a platform, my goal is to travel the world and help to promote peaceful exchanges between all beings on earth and beyond. i just want to see new things, and make people feel good.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

traveling alone can be a bit daunting, so the idea of connecting with people who are rooted in a place helps to ease some of the anxiety around the uncertainty. resorts and hotels and all that are nice, but i feel like you don't get an authentic feel for what actual life is like in a place. i'm on couchsurfing because i don't just want to just visit and vacation; i want to be immersed in culture and become a contributing member of the community, even if only temporarily.

Interests

i really love moving my body. movement is such a sacred spiritual practice because it combines meditation, breath, creativity, and fun! i love learning music and dance styles because they speak so much to culture. and, of course, food is where the heart is.

Music, Movies, and Books

i love blues, reggae, and hip hop. most of what i play (originals and covers) is influenced by those genres. art should be uncensored, and i love any art that offers a raw representation of what's in someone's heart.

my favorite movie is the lion king. i really like minority report, too.

the tao of pooh is an awesome book. highly recommended.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

i coached my sister through the birth of my niece and nephew. because of that experience, i plan to become a doula later in life.

Teach, Learn, Share

love!

What I Can Share with Hosts

i'd love to share yoga with you! that could be in the form of asana (movement), meditation (stillness), and embodiment of yogic principles like honesty, generosity, cleanliness, and compassion.
i'll cook for you, too! i'm also a baker, so i have some awesome recipes up my sleeve. i can even accommodate gluten free people and vegans – no discrimination!
