About Me

I'm a restorative and kids' yoga teacher, as well as an elementary school teacher. I'm a single mom. I'm in a band. I'm currently pursuing my Master's degree. I love to make art. I love to learn. I love to meet new people. Safe to say, I love life, learning and everything it has to offer.

Mediation and yoga are huge parts of my life. I meditate every day.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm pursuing my Master's degree currently. I believe in the goodness and kindness of strangers. I believe there are other ways to travel than what the Western ideology has told us. I want to see the world, meet good people, share joy and stories, and enjoy the experience. I want to be surrounded by people and to immerse myself in their stories :) I haven't had much opportunity to travel, but my belief is that the best experiences are the people you meet along the way. And I'd like to experience life more authentically. I'm not looking to stay in hotels or to resorts. I want to be on the land. In the wild. With the people.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love all kinds of music especially punk, hip hop and folk. My favourite artists right now are Sheer Mag, Cunninglynguists, and Ben Howard.

My favourite movie is Spirited Away.

And my favourite books are The English Patient, Angela's Ashes and Dharma Punx.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I teach children with Autism Spectrum Disorder. I love the work I do and I'm really proud of all of the great things I've accomplished in my career. I am changing the world, one step at a time. :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I teach. I love to learn. In fact, I'm kind of obsessed with it, as you could say. And I'm really good at sharing.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am conscientious. Easy-going. Easy to get along with. Kind. Patient. Passionate. I care. About everything and everyone. I'm a vegetarian going on two years now.

Countries I’ve Visited

Mexico, United States
