About Me

Hey all :)

I think the word that best describes me, is "versatile". I've been predominantly traveling for the past 5 years, but have a home base in California and also Berlin. I used to be involved in the start-up tech scene in both Silicon Valley and Berlin, but am now mostly on the road again. Currently studying how retreat organizations and healing centers work all over the world!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To be honest, it's because of my funds! I actually enjoy staying in Hostels and Airbnb's on occasion, but I'm currently at a point where I am saving everything I can.

I sleep on the ground (it's my preference). I use a yoga mat and some blankets/pillows, and I am a happy sleeper. I also sleep with headphones, listening to music. Super easy and would be grateful for a corner to crash on :)

Interests

At the very moment, my strong interests are rather abstract. Usually revolves around the unification of all religions around the world; retreat healing centers; letting go; discipline; karma yoga...

  • abstract topics

Music, Movies, and Books

Again at the moment! Medicine/Tribal music, hip hop (weird combination right?). Tantra: The Supreme Understanding by Osho. Movie..... hmmm, haven't seen any recently actually :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Live in a forest community in the Costa Rican jungle/forest for 3 months. Spent 2 of those months sleeping outside of my tent :)

Teach, Learn, Share

Babaji, La Alianca (bringing in the four directions of beliefs into one). School of Orixa. Guitar!! Just started picking it up seriously.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Conversation, respect, space, cleanliness, and a mini altar which I setup wherever I sleep.
