Currently traveling with my sister Haley, see her profile here! https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/haleybott

Back on Couchsurfing after a long spell of graduate school! My original profile was a joint one - I'm getting this solo one going now but in the meantime you can read references here https://www.couchsurfing.com/users/1266884/profile.

These days I'm fueled by the California sun and coast and forests, bursting into the world after years in school. My degrees are in psychology and community mental health, so lots of my time and energy goes into working with youth and families, integrating a social justice framework with individual psychotherapy. I love art, music, dancing, walking through cities for miles and miles, and I'm thankfully living in a place that involves all of this in beautiful ways!

Note: I get many requests per day so I apologize if I don't reply to you. Also please send me a request thru the official request section rather than a message as that makes responding easier! One more thing, since I get so many requests I only consider the ones that show me you've actually read my profile....

Что привело меня на Couchsurfing

I first joined in 2009 and surfed my way through Europe....each time I was renewed by the experiences of sharing, generosity, openness and human connections that come out of this. I believe in sharing spaces, time, food, ideas, etc. and this is one place of many to make it happen.

Интересы

Hiking, yoga, cruising around on my bike, swimming in the ocean, beach volleyball, dreams, homeopathy, cooking, farmers markets and natural foods stores, the unconscious, museums, camping, discussions on systemic oppression and how to work for change

Музыка, кино и книги

Funky and folky, weird and independent, short stories and classics and non-fiction

Учу, учусь, делюсь опытом и информацией

I love learning about anything people are passionate about and want to share, I've found that even if the topic itself is not as interesting to me just seeing a person's own excitement about it captivates me. I can share tips for making pies and jewelry and essential oil blends and I can teach you about various theories on the inner workings of the mind!
