About Me

Namaste, friends~

I believe that life is a celebration, and our true nature is love! I see the big picture and feel connected to all of life. I seek to live in harmony with Mother Earth and all her inhabitants. I am learning to live a sustainable, healthy, holistic, and organic life, and I would love to meet others on a similar spiritual path.

I love spending time outdoors and in nature. I am a very curious person. I love to travel and encounter the unknown, and I want to explore life as much as possible, learning as much as I can!

I love to read, write, and draw creatively. I write poetry, short stories, and now, accounts of my travels and discoveries abroad. I also enjoy singing, dancing, sharing a meal, tea, yoga, gardening, and conversations about the universe.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am here to make meaningful connections and friendships with local people I meet on my journey. Couchsurfing is the perfect way to travel on a tight budget while making these connections!
