I am in currently in graduate school to be a physical therapist. I live with my partner Victoria who is a nanny. We also have a sweet cat, named Gypsy Rose. I love cooking and eating vegan food, doing yoga, and practicing mindfulness. I enjoy connecting with people and sharing thoughts and views about life and experiences.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to travel and have the ability to truly experience each place I visit in an organic and natural way. I want to be able to make connections with awesome people around the world. I've really enjoying being able to connect a new friend to each country that I've visited. It makes the experience in a new place even more memorable.

Finally settled in Austin and excited to host and give back to the CS community! I have an apartment here in south Austin with bus routes near by. I am typically very busy during the week with my studies, and may or may not be able to show you around Austin on the weekend. Please be okay with being an independent traveler, but also open to going and doing an activity together if my schedule allows. I have a nice futon couch and bedding for you, as well as a kitchen to cook in. I like to keep my apartment clean, so please be tidy (clean dishes after you cook, keep your belongings out of the way) I am vegan so I ask that you do not cook meat in the apartment. I don't mind if you bring in food from elsewhere. No smoking in the house, or guests (I think thats obvious) I love to learn about new cultures, and would love to hear about yours as well as your travel stories. If you do yoga, I would love to do yoga with you. Please mention "physical therapy" somewhere in your message to let me know that you read this.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can cook with you. I wouldn't call myself a chef, but I like to throw a bunch a veggies in a skillet and it usually turns out pretty good. No guarantees. I can share my travel experiences, and hopefully lots of laughs. I can share my journey on living a healthy and natural lifestyle, as well as being more sustainable to the environment.
