I am a person who seeks to live my values: balance, vitality, wholeness, peace, freedom, passion, compassion, adventure, creativity, and mindfulness. I am originally from the USA and have been traveling through South America since 2018. I love to laugh, smile, and share meaningful moments with people, animals, and nature.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

I'm traveling through South America improving my Spanish language skills, enjoying the beautiful countries, cultures, and people along the way.

Morceaux de musique, films et livres

I LOVE music; most kinds. It's far too difficult to narrow my favorite to only a specific genre. I like so many kinds: hip hop, oldies (50's 60's), classical, folk, rap, instrumental, and so much more!

Movies: again, it's a variety. I like dramas, comedies, documentaries, psychological thrillers (on occasion), children animations

Books: In all honesty, I don't read very often. I think I am a little burnt out from reading so much in school. It's something I'm hoping to rediscover the joy of in my travels through South America.

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

Realized that compassion and kindness are traits not only to be shared externally, but also with myself. I've found the courage to change 'life as I knew it' and pursue the free spirit within me that I have stifled for many years.

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

Teach: I am an English tutor, so I'm happy to share my native tongue with those interested in learning. I also can teach you how to crochet and draw mandalas, if you're interested.

Learn: I am currently learning the Spanish language and want to learn so much more!
Similarly, I have discovered I am enthralled with learning Latin dancing (especially salsa)! I am extremely motivated to continue learning these amazing dances.
Lastly, my dear friend recently shared his talent of hammock making with me; it's a beautiful art and I want to keep practicing/learning.

Share: stories, laughs, a dance, a meal, good energy, and time

Share: I am always honored to share my time, thoughts, and ear to those of kindred spirit.
