Hi! I am a psychologist and dancer/yogi living in Salt Lake City, UT. I have been active with couch surfing in the past and just started back up! I live with my cat Rufus, he's a sweet guy. In my down time, I enjoy live music, exploring the city on bikes, hiking/camping in the mountains, and sharing meals/wine/tea.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I prefer traveling when I can get to know the place and the people, so what better way than to couch surf! I'm also very social and love meeting new friends. I have been in Salt Lake 12 years so I feel I have a good handle on the local scene whether that's breweries, arts, music, good cafes, yoga studios, etc. So come visit me and get to know SL, and consider letting me come visit you!
