I'm a friendly, young-at-heart professional massage therapist working in the luxury spa industry in the beautiful Napa Valley. My heart belongs to my boyfriend and my two pomchi pups, Koby and Ivory. I have a constant itch to travel and see the world but also find myself desiring stability and comfort. I would love to take at least 1 big international trip per year, with several smaller ones each quarter.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I joined Couchsurfing out of curiosity... As someone who loves to travel but is usually on a strict budget, this seemed like a cool way to get out there and meet local people without spending hundreds on a place to sleep!

Interests

Besides giving and receiving professional massage and energy work, acting on a stage is my absolute favorite thing to do. For a play I did a few years ago, I taught myself how to bake bread from scratch, including sourdough... several failed attempts and I finally got it down. I also taught myself some Hebrew for another play I was in in 2016. I love all dogs but little ones I can pick up seem to be my favorite :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was part of the start-up crew for Royal Caribbean's cruise ship Oasis of the Seas... spent 3 weeks training in London, 2 1/2 weeks in dry dock in Turku, Finland, then a 2 week transatlantic crossing to Ft. Lauderdale, FL where I began a 9 month contract doing massage for 7 day Caribbean cruises.
