I love writing & living intentionally. I am currently traveling for a few months, working on a poetry book & meeting new people. I really appreciate anything I can learn about any other culture (& especially food!) & anything that helps me see the world in a new way. I adore dogs & cats & all kinds of pets, as well as art, music, & the great outdoors.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsuring to experience places rather than just passing through & getting in the sights. I love meeting new people & learning new ways of life.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Woke up this morning :)

Teach, Learn, Share

Food (cooking, eating, learning, sharing, all of the above)! Also, I love reciting poetry & enjoy making art (singing, drawing, writing etc) together. Although I cannot teach in full, I am also happy to share meditation & yoga with anyone who will try.

Experiences, ideas, & conversations about the world, life etc and I can help you with your English :)
