About Me

I share a home with my boyfriend, Ben (not on CS at the moment) right outside of Louisville, KY. I love organic, wild, and foraged foods, fresh spring water, and playing Cards Against Humanity.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have friends who are avid couchsurfers. I'm still new to the experience.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have not had any official couchsurfing experience yet. I've done AirBnB. I always stay with friends and acquaintances when traveling. In my youth I booked punk rock shows and had bands stay on my floor. But, nothing as of yet associated with couchsurfing...

Interests

I love being in the kitchen! Some of my favorite dishes that I've learned to make from others are Dal Tadka, Tom Kha coconut soup, Mujadara (rice and lentils).

Spending time outdoors to hike- or if I'm near the ocean- swimming.... I also love visiting springs- hot springs to soak and fresh water springs to drink from.

Music, Movies, and Books

If music fits the mood or situation, I can enjoy it. Right now my top three Spotify stations are Regina Spektor, Bright Eyes, and the Spring Awakening Soundtrack.

I like comedies, romantic comedies, and pretty much any film that isn't too scary.

I enjoy reading for information usually more than reading fiction for pleasure. I really like Paulo Coehlo. I recently read "The Fault in Our Stars" in an airplane and I sobbed so much I almost embarrassed myself.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I really like spending just a little time alone when traveling. Traveling with a group is amazing and preferred. But figuring out a new city's transit system or finding your way when your cell phone has failed you is really empowering. Thriving and exploring in new environments can be healing to the soul.

Oh, and specifically- feeding an elephant bananas is also pretty amazing.

Teach, Learn, Share

I teach workshops for Thai Yoga also known as Thai massage. If you live in a community that would be interested in hosting a workshop, let me know. More information is at www.vedicconservatory.com.

What I Can Share with Hosts

If time permits I would love to cook for you, even just a simple meal or dessert and if you are willing- we can do it together so you'll know how to make it again.

I know just enough about Astrology and Tarot that I would love to do a mini-reading for you.
