Hello!
I'll start with the boring stuff, and if that doesn't turn you away, keep reading!

I live on an animal sanctuary in the SF Bay Area, California. I've lived in New Mexico, Japan, and California.

I'm vegan. i can make a dank meal. i like fine wine and good food. The best cuisine I've had was in a mountain town in southern Italy, where fresh vegetables were prepared with locally harvested ingredients in the simplest, most unadulterated way.

I am a dancer, choreographer, and performer. Moving towards becoming a coach and dance mentor/teacher.

I lift hay bales and clean up cow shit, walk on the earth barefoot, hug trees, swim in rivers, and kiss farm animals on the lips.

My love for the fine arts, the artisanal, and musty old European cathedrals combines with my admiration of the avant-garde, flamboyant, and contemporary.
I believe in Showing Up to support creative ppl & their voices, so let's go to music/dance/art shows!

I am curious, attentive, and love to engage in meaningful conversation, so if you're a talker, go 'head, I'm all ears!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

spontaneously meeting folks around the world has given me some of the richest memories and most fulfilling experiences. these moments are gems in our lengthy lifetimes that i wouldn't ever trade.

i'm not afraid to spend money on food, donations, art, gifts for hosts, but i'd prefer to support CS's model of reciprocal open hospitality than money-sucking airbnbs or hotels.

through couchsurfing, we become vulnerable to trusting each other, and allowing ourselves to feel safe in another person's company. i honor this open acceptance and curiosity, and invite you to join me in deepening the global bonds of humanity through our shared surfing experience.
