I've just returned back to California after about a year and a half of traveling in and around New Zealand and Australia.

I finished a yoga teacher training course in May 2015 and want to start teaching and would love to offer a class to my hosts!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm currently living in the East Bay, but have a 10 weekend meditation course in LA every Sunday. I'd like to see different parts of LA and OC that I wouldn't normally see if I stayed with friends. I'm up for camping in parks & at the beach, but I'm not familiar with where the good/cheap/free places are to do that.

Interests

I'm trying to get back into doing a daily practice of yoga, but it's been hard! I'd love to try teaching some more. My teaching style usually includes postures, breathing techniques (pranayama), and meditation.

I'm love, love, love swimming in the ocean and taking long walks and hikes.

Music, Movies, and Books

Currently, loving Little Dragon, the Gorillaz, and the Inside Llewyn Davis soundtrack.

I haven't been to the movies in months, but am up to date on GoT (when is book 6 coming out!!?) and just started watching Chef's Table on Netflix. SO GOOD.

I'm a big fan of Robin Hobb's books, especially the Realm of the Elderlings series. Pretty much anything by Murakami is enjoyable.
