I grew up in California and Texas to parents from England and Hungary, surrounded by animals, good food, and nature hikes.
I love connecting with people and listening to their experiences, and I especially love sharing food: finding the freshest ingredients, creating a meal, and savoring it together.
I practice yoga and meditation, and strive to live a yogic lifestyle unattached to ego, loving all and serving all. I cultivate peace in my life through daily rituals and embodiment practices. I feel so grateful to be a student of Life and the Universe, I am learning so much, and am practicing surrendering to the flow of the journey and trusting. I love opening my Heart to others!
I am super chill, love meeting other chill folks and getting to experience a little bit of their part of the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

A dear friend, who has been part of this community for years, introduced me to Couchsurfing. As soon as I started looking around, I fell in love with this idea. I love meeting other good people and sharing our experiences, and staying with locals is definitely my favorite way to get to know a place.

Interests

I love to read, write, go on walks and hikes, take photos, go to museums and galleries, cook and eat delicious food, engage with new friends and listen to their points of view and experiences, drink tea, grow plants and mushrooms, climb trees, write letters, explore, soak up the sun, enjoy music, share ideas, exchange Love and Joy with others!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went indoor flying and it was terrifying but then it was some of the most fun ever in my life :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a student of Life and eager to learn what others have to share! I love discussing spirituality, favorite books, favorite foods, and places we've been in the world (and cosmos ;) ).

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love to cook with others, sharing ideas and creating something together to share. The best way to connect is by eating together!
I am more than happy to help out with things around the house or the garden (I worked on a regenerative farm for two seasons) or creating my favorite recipes for you!
