Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To enjoy life, learn lessons along the way, and experience many adventures along the way!
ABOUT ME
I love life and I aim to live it to the fullest while I am here. For me that looks like not letting fear hold me back, staying open to new experiences and other humans, and to live with intention and purpose.
PHILOSOPHY
Do onto others as you would wish them do onto you.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Invading people's couches and letting others invade mine.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I have nothing but wonderful things to say about my coushsurfing experiences. I have met some really wonderful and interesting people during my travels. This truly is an amazing concept that everyone should try.
Interests
My introvert side loves nature and walks in the woods. And the extrovert part of me enjoys dancing (especially to 60's soul!), road trips, roller skating, traveling, and meeting new people. I am also passionate about bringing healing-centered practices into the institution of education which is what I get paid to do.

Music, Movies, and Books
I really enjoy reading. Anything from Chomsky to Chopin. I also enjoy a wide variety of music: Ska, Indie, Bollywood, Latin, etc. One of my favorite bands is Buena Vista Social Club and Iron and Wine. I watch a lot of documentaries.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I have traveled around the world but my favorite adventure has been moving to the PNW. At the time, I had no job, no house, and had no connections. It was a complete leap of faith and total act of courage. Best decision of my life! Everything has worked out for the best.
