A few years ago I left my job and college in Chicago and hit the road for almost a year wandering the west coast. The experience stuck with me and aside from settling here and there to work, or visiting home ive been nomadic ever since. Ive been work-trading, staying at organic farms, spiritual retreat centers, going to music and arts gatherings, camping, hiking, and often just wandering around. I am dedicated to my yoga and meditation practice and im a teacher as well. I love connecting with people through this, and often get lost in conversations about spiritual practice, philosophical theory or anything esoteric related.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

how can I really choose just one?

Teach, Learn, Share

I am traveling to learn about myself and the world around through having direct personal experiences. Locals can teach so much about the place they live in, and how they live.

I am learning about food, growing food, picking food, local food and local ingredients, and learning new recipes. I love working at farms or cooking as I travel.

I am a yoga teach, but much more so a student. I am always looking for training courses, retreats, and workshops with master teachers, giving service at spiritual centers, going to Vipassana meditation centers.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I would love to cook for you, and share conversation and stories.

I will respect all the rules of your house, and leave the space as clean as I found it. I am so grateful to anyone who lets me stay in their home.
