About Me

Currently not hosting as I actually don't have a permanent home right now and will be traveling indefinitely.

In 2016 I spent the summer traveling throughout Europe for 3 months. Originally from South Florida with Colombian roots.

I've been living in Medellin, Colombia for the last year and a half. Fast forward to 2018, I spent about a month and a half in India and completed my first yoga teacher training in Rishikesh. Arrived to Thailand in late May and explored Bangkok, Chiang Mai and Pai. I'm currently in Kampot, Cambodia where I've been teaching yoga for several weeks.

I would love to find opportunities to teach in Vietnam as well during my stay. I'm stating in Ho Chi Minh City.

I'm fluent in English and Spanish; I get by with Italian and studied 7 years of French. I have a 10 year retail management background and a passion for all things health, wellness & spirituality.

Eager to explore the world, wander, learn and share my experiences.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I had a couple experiences Summer of 2016 in Europe and bummed I didn't start earlier.

I'm headed to India in April of 2018 to do my yoga teacher training and looking for locals or travel buddies to explore more of India in May and travel throughout South East Asia May-July.

I currently can't host as I'm in Medellin and not in my own place, but can certainly meet up and recommend places and things to do.
