I'm a burner + music lover + travel junkie + nature worshipper + connection addict.

Music is my passion, specifically Detroit/Chicago/Berlin/UK house/techno/electronic music. I've travelled all over the world to experience mind-melding music, at festivals like Sonar in Barcelona, BPM/Tulum in Mexico, ADE and DGTL in Amsterdam, Movement in Detroit, Symbiosis in California and Burning Man.

Nature is my home. I touch/smell/taste leaves/flowers/barks everywhere I go. I'm a forest therapy guide, because being in nature is the only true healing we need. Whatever the mental or physical ailment, the answer is always nature. "Nature is not a place to visit. It is home." - Gary Snyder

Connection is my addiction. I live for real, uninhibited connections with people, whether it's a short conversation with a stranger or a life-long attachment to a lover. I love seeing the glint of real excitement/fear/sadness/joy in people's eyes. Human to human connection is the only addiction we crave.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I LOVE to travel! I love to meet people from different places and make amazing connections. I love trying new things, adventuring, exploring - solo or with friends and strangers.

I also want to belong to a money-free economy where people give because they WANT to give to each other. I truly believe that giving is receiving and that sharing is caring.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Most recently, danced under the full moon at a secret silent party on top of a hill in San Francisco, overlooking the bay. It was organized by my friend, who arranged to have live DJs stream music over wifi and into our phone headphones :)

Teach, Learn, Share
