I'm a backpacker, songwriter, meditator, yogi, foodie, and long distance runner. I'm very social but also enjoy my alone time, I love kids, and I love a good debate. I'm very opinionated but I like to keep debates light hearted with the goal of learning and sharing experiences. I have a lot of energy and I like trying new things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I feel that the best way of experiencing a new place is with the expertise of a local. I love meeting new people and am curious about the underbelly of a place rather than just the most obvious tourist attractions. I am comfortable with very simple accommodation, and to be quite honest I'm on a tight budget.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a certified yoga teacher, but am interested in learning much more about yoga from others as well.

I'd like to learn about many styles of traditional music.

I'd love to babysit in exchange for accommodation!
