Hello!

I am a happy, compassionate, and considerate vegan-friendly, traveler for peace. I am interested in meeting with people, places, cultures, etc. I am a yoga instructor and currently in the midst of becoming a doctor of Chinese medicine and acupuncture. I enjoy and seek out meeting with people. :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am currently on a short break from my studies and have the opportunity to visit Paris for the first time and although I will technically be a tourist, I'd like to view it from the perspective of a local as much as possible. In exchange for a space to lay my head, I can offer a sincere friendship, and most definitely will bring you a gift from LA as a token of profound appreciation.

Interests

working out my body, mind, spirit through physical activity (crossfit/yoga/chanting meditation), academics, and creating/learning about new things. I love nutrition and music. I am all about good nutrition but don't get me wrong, I do enjoy a nice fatty vegan meal every now and then... Also a big fan of music, almost any kind of music!
