About Me

Hi! I am an aspiring bhakti yogi! I love exploring the connections between different cultures and I am especially attracted to Vedic culture and philosophy. I spent last year in India following great sages and saints which has since then revolutionized my world view and sense of self. I have decided to dedicate this year to deep reflection of their teachings and I will attempt to bridge the gap between theory and praxis and personal healing. I want to live my truth and I praying that I gravitate towards those souls who will inspire me along the way. I still have so much to learn!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am looking to meet some unique souls I can have some fierce conversations with. I am looking to make some human connections and learn from ones who can teach me to live outside myself.
