ABOUT ME

I grew up in Chicagoland and went to Knox College in small town Galesburg IL. Moved to California a little over 6 years ago- packed up my car and drove west. Traveled for about a month, visiting friends and Couchsurfers all across the country. Truly one of the best experiences of my life, and California just keeps getting sweeter. I'm a Midwestern girl with a California heart and a flower in my hair.
I've been practicing yoga for over 9 years and teaching for 6 years. I am so fortunate to have an occupation I truly love and enjoy. It is so rewarding to teach and help people evolve and grow.

PHILOSOPHY

"The quality of your energy determines your experience of life."

It's all about balance- the middle path. Everything in moderation, even moderation.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I surfed in Reno, NV when I traveled out to Northern California from Chicago and I had a great experience. I also surfed in Jackson Hole Wyoming. I've had coffee with couchsurfers who visit the bay area.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One amazing thing, Couchsurfing asks for here...ONE? How do I choose just one? Every day is an amazing gift. Every time I go outside in San Francisco and walk the hills, smell the ocean, disappear in the fog...I am amazed...

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach yoga, hula-hooping, maybe even piano lessons if you ask nice...I also know just enough about how my computer works to be dangerous.
