About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To experience by living fully in the present moment

To love others, to love myself, to love God
To manifest the life I desire through the power of my thoughts and emotions being aligned with Source

ABOUT ME

I'm a location-independent photographer and entrepreneur and recently trained massage therapist and energy healer.

Plant-based for the animals, for the planet, and for my personal health revolution.

Classic Sagittarius- free spirited, optimistic, idealistic

Mantra: No judgement, no fear, constant forgiveness

I was first bit by the travel bug when I was 12 years old when my aunt told me about foreign exchange students. After a lot of research, three years later, I was lucky enough to receive a full scholarship to study in Germany for a year. I lived with a host family, made life-long friends, and learned to speak German. That first experience of learning a new way of living in a new place was exhilarating, and apparently addicting.

2014- 6 weeks backpacking through western Europe
2017- 2.5 months solo backpacking/camping/roadtripping New Zealand
2018- sold everything and left with a backpack and one way ticket to London. Worked for accommodation all over England and Scotland.
2018- 2 months as a digital nomad on Koh Lanta, Thailand

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet you!

Interests

I like to get outside. Hiking, biking, yoga. I love to go see live music. I love all kinds of music, especially anything I can dance to! I also just enjoy sitting out on a patio, enjoying a cup of tea, a good book, or sharing conversation.
I'm an absolute sucker for sunsets and sunrises. I live to see the colors painting the sky.
I’m interested in learning more about permaculture and herbalism, sustainable living, reducing waste, just treating our home with due respect.
What would make me very happy is to have a fully-stocked kitchen and all the time to tinker around and play with recipes and make healthy, delicious food for myself and my loved ones.
