CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I came to Bloomington to study Biochemistry at Indiana University. Many hobbies and passions of life took me off the beaten path. While in the midst of intense studies in gradual school developing pharmaceutical drugs to treat diabetes, I found myself dedicating majority of my free time to yoga practice and tango dancing. After completing a Master's degree in Biochemistry, I found myself immersed in Yoga Teacher's training and later in Yoga therapy training, which lead me to a realization of the incredible power of healing from within when body, mind and Spirit come to One. I fell in love with myself, with all humans and with the entire nature and Universe. When I am walking through the woods, climbing the mountains or quietly enjoying the setting or rising sun, I know that this is why I live.

PHILOSOPHY

Be positive and the life will be BEAUTIFUL.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have hosted many people traveling through Bloomington, Indiana and surfed in Orlando, California, New Mexico, Illinois, and Colorado!!! All have been wonderful experiences!!! I love it, love it, love it, and it gives me a sense of how connected we all are!!!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I hosted when I lived in an apartment with my sweet roommate. Now I live in a house with my husband and we are setting a guest bedroom and will open up our home for surfers very soon!
I surfed in Orlando, Silver City and Albuquerque, West Chicago - magical, totally acceeded my expectations! Last couple of surfing experiences were in Boulder and Steamboat Springs, Colorado. Every experience using this network was very enriching and unique.
