Hello! I'm Ivala and I'm beginning my odyssey by traveling and seeing the country. I' currently in process of converting a mid sized school bus to travel in. I'm a very laid back, easy going, always looking to explore, meet some really cool people, and share awesome experiences. I'm hoping to see many different places, therefore someday we can choose where to call home. My current goal is to travel to all the 50 US states! I have been a Cosmetologist for twelve years but also have a background working in Corrections and Mental Health.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would like to explore, meet new people, and see how things are different around the world.

Were open to allowing others to stay on our couch for a few days and sharing their stories with us. Please see the "my home" tab. Good vibes only.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm open to all kinds of music, i'm not particularly crazy over gospel, and screamo, they wouldn't be my first choice of music. Movies I prefer romance, but enjoy anything other than horror. Sorry!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've done many pretty amazing things from going to Puerto Rico, skydiving, learning new outdoor hobbies, experimental cooking. I also took a spontaneous road trip south to Tennessee, the Carolinas, along with a road trip north up to Maine. I also spent a week visiting California and traveling like locals utilizing public transportation and living very frugal.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am currently completing my 200 hr YTT to be a certified yoga instructor.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I absolutely love to cook, can be a pal to spend time outdoors, can offer hair/skin/nail services, as well as help guide you through a meditation or yoga practice once I'm certified.
