Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I travel internationally to meet new people, understand different cultures, and challenge my comfort zone. I find that the most fulfilling part of traveling is learning from new people and getting exposed to different viewpoints. Couchsurfing provides a unique opportunity to do just that. I am new to using it and excited to explore the world this way.

Teach, Learn, Share

Can teach English, Spanish, some Portuguese. Have a wealth of knowledge about neurology, the human body, and the interconnection between emotional/life experiences and how these manifest as different things in the body, such as physical pain.

Want to learn about your culture (whatever that means to you), what brings you joy, and what matters most to you. Always looking for good food and ways to access nature. I love biking, hiking, and rock climbing.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love to cook and share good food. I am a neurologic physical therapist and always happy to share my knowledge about the body and the brain, and give some exercises to help with injuries, etc.
