About Me

I'm by nature private and an extrovert. I teach and practice yoga and meditation. I'm an artist by heart and I write poetry and short fiction. I like drawing and painting.

I used to be on Airbnb until the condominium place where I live gave me a 7 day notice to move out :) apparently it was against my contract to advertise on AIRBNB.. Then I met David who needed a couch to crash for a conference and I decided to give it a try since most of my experiences hosting people had been awesome...

I do travel quite a bit and my calendar gets busy, please don't take offense if I cannot host you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'm so mischievous that i've done a lot of things out of the ordinary.. but mostly I like serving, by that I mean community service like working with homeless people or teaching yoga in Jail. I try to live my life as to not cause harm and to do anything that can make a small difference in someone else's world, showing kindness when no one else would.
