About Me

Hi there!

I've just emerged from grad school with a lot of training, a diploma, ready to meet the world! In August I performed in the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in Scotland, and then an international artist residency in Berlin, and then transformative Voice work in the South of France. It has been a wild ride.
At the start I was camping with my backpack and my tent and my little suitcase full of costumes-- needless to say I am durable and can meet most occasions... the travel continues, though right now, sans costumes. I love meeting new people and making new friends.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

At the risk of repeating myself:
I love new meeting new people!
And having new experiences!
Also, I'm open to lasting friendships, and as an artist, I'm always looking for ways to travel more affordably.

Interests

I am passionate about the performing arts, good food, laughter, the moon in all of it's stages, sunsets, writing, choreography (making dances), collaborating, going on adventures, doing things that scare me (and cultivating warriorship), cooking, bike riding, exploring, being in nature, making connections, dreaming, manifesting.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Recently: I climbed up from a deep canyon at night alone in the desert of Utah, with only a headlamp and a little notebook. I started writing a book that night... in the canyon on the edge of the cliffs... we'll see what develops.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know a lot about people... I've got some good ''emotional intelligence.'' If I weren't an artist, I'd be a psychotherapist; there's still time to do that too.
I love to learn, I love to teach, I love to share and connect.
I'm interested in mindfulness and meditation, contemplative practice, the creative process, being a source of love and understanding and inspiration; I am very dynamic and energetic and enthusiastic-- I like to share my joy and curiosity of life with others.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Dance! Laughter! Preparing delicious meals! Good stories... I'm a good story teller... and I can also ''lend an ear'' as in I'm a good listener too.
