Hello! Over the last 5 years, I have worked in social impact, specializing as a sales consultant/trainer/coach in South Asia, West and East Africa. Funny enough, in all the travel that I've done for work (about 10 countries), I've not had the opportunity to travel on my own - for fun, which is what I am getting to do now!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've recently resigned to explore what's next in my life, be inspired by food and flavors around the world and determine where my husband and I will call home. When I travel I'm not one to bounce into a hostel, or bar and leave with my next 10 friends (that's my husband), so I'd rather find a place to stay with someone that's living locally to connect with. Since I am not working, I'm excited to meet new people and explore :)

Music, Movies, and Books

My husband says I have terrible taste in music...I mean, who doesn't love a good 90's playlist? (I won't pick the party playlist...unless you too like to jam out to 90's music). I'm also from the south, and YES I do like country music. :)

Movies - I'll watch anything but horror.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've had the opportunity to work with some incredible business owners all over Africa, South and Southeast Asia. During the last 5 years, I've trained over 500+ sales people, managers and directors - these people have impacted thousands of households to increase their household income. I feel pretty proud to have had these experiences.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach - I can talk with you for hours about your business or sales/management challenges - just ask!

Learn - I am currently on a journey to build an international community that is practicing meditation and exercising regularly. If you practicing in your own life, let's do this together!

Share - I am passionate about creating a more sustainable world and on a mission to find like-minded people that are open to discussions on how to impact global health issues, sustainable development, and alternative education.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love to cook - I mean...LOVE. If I offer to cook, definitely don't think it's a chore for me. I make killer banana pancakes, smoothies, veggies lasagna...to name a few.
