CURRENT MISSION

To be more myself.

ABOUT ME

I like meeting new people, healthy food, play, laughter, being in nature, taking trips without an itinerary, deep conversations that really unpack things & explore the ridiculous, solitude, podcasts, audiobooks, taking it easy, ted talks, cats, and dogs.

I'm currently studying human behavior. I've had a lot of jobs - firefighter, lifeguard, swim teacher, nanny, police cadet, waitress, bartender, retailer, backpacking guide, delivery driver.. my studies have been just as varied in math, bio, humanities, cognitive science, meditation, contact improv, etc.

PHILOSOPHY

Less is More

The way we make the world a better place, is by making ourselves a better place.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I was able to travel on a shoestring budget and grow my capacity for love and non judgement through couchsurfing. I'm so glad to have a space I can give back to this amazing community with. The cultural exchange and self reflection travel offers are invaluable, and I'm stoked to help keep it commin' to us all!!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Rode my bicycle from California to Vermont -- stealth camping and being hosted by strangers all the way. Ended the tour at the National Rainbow Gathering, naked dancing and being fed by magical monks in a free forest village.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm happy to help with all sorts of things, just ask. At the very least, we can eat together and share honest conversation :) I can usually find a path for someone to go to college for free. I'm decent at hard labor and repairing some things. There's a sewing machine, power tools, and a willingness to fail with laughter here, so bring your issues & let's play.

I could guide us through some yoga, cook, organize, help you create a system for something, tell you about my experiences in any of the fields I've worked in or travels I've done. I can tell you what I know about bike touring, nutrition, lifestyle, dog training...

I can listen to you and help you unpack something weighing on you without judgment.
