I'm a college student working towards developing a greater understanding of myself and the world. I'm currently studying mindfulness and meditation to better myself and pursue understanding of self and spirit. I think the best way to appreciate the world is to explore its perspective through the eyes of others.

I always travel with my other half. His name is Bodhi and he is an amazing artist! He works with experimental media and is looking to break into film soon.

Check out a link to his last gallery here: http://events.stltoday.com/event/-the-grey-path-exhibition-at-the-renaissance--y5tr5xfgvc

He also loves rock climbing, swimming, hiking, surfing, and outdoor sports in general. Although I enjoy these things as well, I'm not nearly as talented!

We're laid back and respectful of space, though we love meeting kindred spirits! Some of our favorite down-time activities include conversing over a cup of tea (especially bergamont and chamomile) or sharing a movie with friends. We also enjoy burning incense (usually cedarwood, wildberry, or nag champa) for relaxation.

I think that CouchSurfing provides an amazing opportunity to meet some of the most open-minded people in the world and I hope to meet many of you and develop lasting friendships!

Goals: Currently working towards my degree. Hoping to learn a few languages (Spanish, Chinese, Hindu, German). Mostly just want to make the most of life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To get out and see the world, meet new people, and learn a few things along the way.

One day I hope to be able to host other surfers, but I'm usually on the road so this hasn't been a possibility yet.
