About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Dance more, travel more, smile more... Preferably all at the same time.

ABOUT ME

I am a seamstress and currently run Rock Star Rehab Clothing. I also teach hoop, yoga, pole and dance classes along with practicing thai massage.

I am fascinated with culture and the human body. I love to help people, and find joy in teaching and empowering others.

PHILOSOPHY

Those who can laugh at themselves will never cease to be amused.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am always looking to show people my city!

I can host when the couch is available.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have traveled across Europe several times couch surfing from the age of 13 onward. At age 16 I was an exchange student in Germany, and I have toured with several bands coast to coast.

I loved to travel and experience life as a local. My life has been shaped by experiences I have shared with my with both hosts and surfers. I believe in traveler's karma, and have been blessed with generosity all over the world.

Interests

Art, massage, music, diving, cooking, cycling, hula hooping.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have been to my favorite author's wedding and I was able to participate in making a Sundance film.

I have stayed in a house in the austirain countryside that once housed an underground railroad.

Danced with Jerry Springer, he is actually quite graceful.

Hooped 24 hula hoops at the same time.

Performed with 17 flaming wicks inside of a ring of fire while some of the artist from P-funk were in a interactive musical playground.

Had my clothing purchased by my musical and fashion idols, and then got to see it worn on stage.

Stayed on my family's farm in the Italian countryside, learning how to make pizza from scratch.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach people how to cook, sew or dance. A private yoga class or thai massage could happen too!

For those of you who do not know, Thai massage is like someone else doing yoga for you, and then giving you a massage.

I am always looking for excuses to learn about and spend time in nature, above ground or under water.
