In the process of becoming, in this ripening 25 year old self, body, soul. Playing with this tender balance between discovery and creativity. Playing with the subtle dance of spontaneity and stability.

I gravitate towards dance, meaningful connections, exploring nature, making film/photography, and following the flow.

I'm travelling throughout South America for an unknown amount of time, let's connect if you feel the call!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Have had some beautiful couch surfing experiences, both in the states, and in Europe, and I feel like this platform is essential for the kind of world I want to be living in. Consciously and responsibly sharing in resources, knowledge, and community is how I'd like to see a genuinely globalized world veer towards.

Though I don't have a space of my own yet to host couchsurfers, I'm excited for the day that I can. Till then, I keep this active for my travels.

Interests

I'm a big fan of hot water, hot moist air, wide open wooden floors, and mountain tickled atmospheres. I'm fascinated with how awareness moves through bodies, and what we can learn through participating in our inhabitance, movement and evolution in these bodies. So dance, circus and other movement practices. Poetry and myth. Fermentation. Community building. Systems thinking. Following abandoned roads...
