Hi! I just recently moved to San Diego after a couple years of having lived across the world. I am not in a good position to be able to host right now but would love to meet up.

I love living simply and being free from the rules of society. I'm an over-thinker who tries to still my anxious mind by practicing various forms consciousness, embracing the present moment, and living spontaneously. I love being in nature, whether hiking or biking or swimming - it is like a reset button to find myself again when I've been caught up in the busyness of life. I really enjoy learning languages, local songs, and how to cook local dishes.

I'm a very flexible, adaptable and calm person with an open mind and heart to each individual I encounter. I love deep conversations, learning from others and connecting about life, but I'm also always down for some laughs, fun, and crazy adventures. All I need is some good company, and I'll be down for any plan we can come up with!

420 and psychedelics friendly, only sometimes alcohol, and none of it is ever a necessity. Live free :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I prefer to travel less like a tourist and more like someone who lives in the place I'm visiting. And this is why I love Couchsurfing, because it's like a shortcut to making local friends and allows me to join in my hosts' lives for a bit, or have others join in my life. Where you are matters less than who you do it with. :) Keep the Couchsurfing spirit alive!

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy ALMOST every kind of music....Indie, folk, hip-hop, EDM, psytrance, reggae, alternative, classic rock, jazz, classical... Some of my favorite artists are Michael Franti & Spearhead, Danit, Eminem, Penny and Sparrow, Twenty One Pilots, Zaz

The NEXUS series by Ramez Naam - best books I've ever read! Ask me about them if you're into technology, psychology/neuroscience, or futuristic sci-fi - these are crazy realistic.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Too hard to choose just one....

Climbed the thousands of steps up Adam's Peak starting at 2 am in Sri Lanka - with the help of a Couchsurfer, of course!

500-km week-long bike trip through France - I'll always remember the places I saw and the lovely people who hosted me along the way :)

I learned Arabic (to a decent conversational level) in a year living in Jordan. Arabs are always shocked to hear this random Texan speak to them in Arabic! 😂

Singing Macedonian folk music with my Couchsurfing street musician friends!

Boom festival 2023!

Rainbow gathering in Macedonia!

And so much more...

Teach, Learn, Share

I give really great shoulder massages, ask my friends! :) I also make some great desserts or space cookies if we can find the right ingredients! ;) I'd love to cook together and share what we know of foods from around the world! Let's create something delicious!

If you're into yoga or meditation, I want to learn from you and practice! I have so much to learn.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My culture, languages, shoulder massages, meaningful conversations and connection, and friendship. 😊

I do my best to be a considerate guest and adapt to your style of hosting. If I've sent you a surfing request, it almost certainly means I've read your profile and references carefully and think we would get along well. I try to be communicative and keep you updated about my plans.
