I'm also a psychotherapist in private practice with my priorities set on work/life balance between travel and social justice work. I was born in Australia, grew up in the CA east bay, lived in New Mexico, and then Oregon for 13 years before moving to SLC four years ago. The wilderness that is Utah is awe-inspiring. I hope to share it with folks passing through and use CS to explore more of our vast, complicated, and intriguing world. To guests: I can be quiet and keep to myself or crank up the stereo and host porch parties. It all depends on the day and what your needs may be while traveling.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Hoped to use CS while in Europe for a couple weeks recently and it just didn't pan out but I adore the concept. I don't believe finances should inhibit travel and hope to extend the same opportunity to others wishing to get away, explore, learn, and just blitz life in general...

Interests

If it's outside I'm there.

Also African dance, Ultimate Frisbee ( I played all through college after one long year on the crew team), feebly playing my guitars, philosophy, religion, eastern iconography...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Admission to the Vatican within five minutes of arrival after meeting a very kind off-duty police officer.

Teach, Learn, Share

Hmmm, I doubt travelers would want to be therapized...however I'm happy to help with English, share tips on US travel-especially in the West, and I make a mean Bloody Mary.
