I am a curious, playful and creative person practicing integrative and natural therapies. I am involved with circus arts, art installation, writing, dance... really I like to try it all!

Right now i am a Grant Writer for an International Art Center. I have experience in Agriculture, Arts Curation, ChildCare, Caregiving, and Social Administration roles.

I enjoy a conversation and a walk before all else. I believe rest and honesty about our current experience of life is the most important part of relationships. I am to cultivate laughter, direct communication and reciprocity.

A good story rocks my world. Let's share!

I grew up in the North West of USA riding horses, rafting rivers, dancing, rock-climbing, studying, painting, theatre and building fairy-houses. I am open-minded and feel I am here to build artistic bridges between the rural and urban landscapes.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I enjoy the authenticity and connection of humans who live in the places I am visiting / living. Their stories always help me to feel more a part of the culture and alive.

I love the spontaneity of travel, the edge of the unknown and wonder of meeting new people who feel like ancient friends.. CouchSurfing provides the perfect opportunity for what I am cultivating in life.
