Hi!

I enjoy exploring the world and learning new things, and the journey in between. My favorite part of traveling is always the people that I meet and connect with along the way. I am trained as a mental health counselor and it is my passion. Everything I learn on my journey is meant for me to give back to the world somehow. Also I am sober, friend of Bill's :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

to meet new people, to allow my heart to be open to the kindness of others. because some of the people I've met on my travel journeys are some of my closest friends today. because it's all about the local experience.

Interests

My career is my passion because I believe in the words of Picasso, that the meaning of life is to find your gift and the purpose of life is to give it away. This is why I am here, on earth and on couch surfing... to explore the world, acquire knowledge, connect with others and to share it all with others.

Music, Movies, and Books

My heart is in the old stuff, like The Beatles (especially George Harrison influenced), Eric Clapton, Simon and Garfunkel but I also like bands like Matisyahu, Nahko, Of Montreal and can also jam to the really bad/really great catchy rap and hip hop/pop that's on the radio.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

backpacked central america 3 months solo.

What I Can Share with Hosts

The English language, conversations and experiences that set our souls on fire- about why we are here and society, feminist perspectives and therapeutic stuff (as this is what I do for a living). An ear to listen, shoulder to cry on, partner in adventure. I also love cooking and cleaning and can help out with all that fun life stuff.
