About Me

Hello there!
I'm backpacking through/working in Latin America for a few years, and would really appreciate a couch every so often. 🌞

**Currently living in Nicaragua and supporting a program to prevent community diabetes.

I love finding local spots to try new foods and meet more inspiring people that live on this planet.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As a backpacker, I don't have enough money to hotel hop. I also really value the gift of human generosity that I frequently receive as a traveler. The moment I stop my nomadic lifestyle, my couch will be forever open for other travelers.

Interests

I want to learn about social justice issues from all angles, but focus in on health and all of the intersectionality and complexities that exist to influence it.

Let's cook together and/or crack a bottle of red wine and share life stories.

Looking to meet other complex, unique individuals who can teach me whatever it is they can offer.

Food, wine, stories, conversation, salsa dancing partner, some of my writing, a yoga and/or meditation practice.
