Well, my mom thinks I'm cool! :D

As well as being a traveler, I'm a yoga-doing, adventure-seeking, vegetarian who is on a mission to explore the world! I feel that the best way to know a place is to know the people, and the best way to know the people is to share thoughts, ideas, and space. I have spent as much time traveling in the past few years as I have living in one place; I feel most comfortable when I'm out in the world facing new challenges.

PHILOSOPHY

You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself, any direction you choose. - Dr. Seuss

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Some of the greatest people I know I have met through CSing! I have spent some time surfing my way around South America, Thailand, India, and Canada. I have also hosted in between travels and attended a few local events.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once went over Niagara Falls in a barrel. . . No, wait, that wasn't me.

Teach, Learn, Share

SHARE: Anything yoga related. I was teaching for 12 years before taking the last year off. I'm not obsessed (I promise) but it is definitely something that makes sense to me and if people ask, I'm willing to share.

LEARN: This list is truly endless, but I'll simplify.
Sadly to say, I only speak English, but I would love to learn new languages - currently my mission is to learn Spanish. I also like to cook, but perhaps I'm a better student than teacher. Hmmmm, and wine, I like to drink it, but don't know nearly enough about it.
