About Me

I want to meet and connect with those I wouldn't have the chance to at home--whether to go on a hike, start an impromptu street performance, or have a slumber party with ginger tea, rooftop conversations beneath the stars. I just love connecting with strange, awesome, magnificent souls!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet friends while traveling and learn some of the languages of the places I go--hotels are nice, but they are expensive without the fun and opportunity to make new friends and really learn about people and life. I want to meet people!

Teach, Learn, Share

I study nutritional healing, which I can share with those who are interested!
I want to learn new languages! Especially French!! I can help you with your English too :)
Want to go on a nature walk and play in the trees?
I'm learning how to make vegan dark chocolate bars, which we can try together. I'm also interested in learning how to cook poultry and meat, because I just started eating it again.
I just finished yoga teacher training in Thailand and am happy to help out in some ashtanga if any questions come up
I would love to exchange perspectives about gender issues and race relations, and learn more about the state of the world
I like to write stories with people, randomly and spontaneously, either on paper, or just over a meal
Dance with me?
Share poetry slams and discussion about life--I'm a good listener

What I Can Share with Hosts

Meals: I love to cook and can make a mean coconut curry soup or stir fry or other vegan concoctions, or at least I can try, pretty hard
Nutrition consult: if you want to understand more about why your body is functioning as it is, I can share what I have learned on my journey through nutritional exploration
I study psychology and different therapeutic approaches and love sharing those with others and learning others' perspectives and insight
An ear without judgement and with a whole lotta compassion <3
