I am singer, dancer, painter, and teacher... I love all forms of art and beauty. As a teacher I use my creativity to make learning a language fun! This way not only are the students learning, but so am I ;).
On a daily basis I do yoga to relax my body, mind, and spirit. When I connect with my body, I feel like I can connect with others at a deeper level. I love being active, I run at least four times a week. I also take many photos of nature and inanimate objects.

I studied anthropology, psychology, and philosophy. It's been my dream for many years to come to Japan, and so here I am-- and I'm so happy. I am fascinated with many aspects of the Japanese society, like the many festivals and appreciation of the four seasons, maiko/ geishas lifestyle, tea ceremony, and the cultural values.

One of the reasons why I want to travel is to really know who I am, because I believe the world to be a reflection of ourselves. We create the world through our mind and so, I want to know the various parts of myself through traveling.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to learn from the experiences of other people. Hearing the stories of others sometimes makes me feel like I went on their trip. I have a great passion to travel, so until the time I go on my travels I want to continue on hearing those stories.

I will be doing a long trip around Europe, Latin America, and South Eastern Asia at some point.

Interests

Traveling is a great passion for me, every culture has something unique to offer.

I`m interested in getting to know people from different cultures, and so touristic attractions aren`t a priority for me when I travel. I want to work for an organization or make my own projects in the various places which I`ll be traveling to in the world.
