I love to live the full spectrum of experiences that life offers. I love being social with friends and family as much as I love to read and breathe by myself. Every activity is more enjoyable near trees and in nature. I dance and sing often, and value adventure and spontaneity. I will continue exploring and traveling until the day I die.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I really believe that the quality of experiences are determined by how we interact with other people. So I really want to connect with people as I travel. I want to see how different people live in their culture first hand and at the same time share my humor, experiences, and energy with them in return.

Music, Movies, and Books

I am currently reading The Untethered Soul by Michael Alan Singer and The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss. Brandon Sanderson is my favorite fiction writer and the Wheel of Time is my favorite book series. For non-fiction I am a big fan of Mark Manson, Derek Sivers, and Tim Ferriss. I haven't read anything of theirs that I didn't love.

My TV and movie favorites is a really big list, but some shows that I have seen and loved in the last year are Andor, Kingdom, Fleabag, and Invincible. I am a big fan of the Deadpool movies and other similar dark comedies.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have skydived! Twice now. It is life-changing!

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a certified English language instructor, bachelor's level neuroscience graduate, swing and blues dancer, and an avid meditator. I am a intermediate learner of ukulele, yoga, massage, and Spanish language. I am always happy to share my experience, knowledge, and talents with whoever's couch I'm on. :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my knowledge and perspective with American culture, English, theatre/Shakespeare, social and ecstatic dancing, mindfulness/awareness, psychology/neuroscience, philosophy of life, or some of my many other varied interests. I would love to cook for you! I am also experienced with training using weights, stretching, and some massage techniques. I share positive energy everywhere I go with a growth-oriented attitude and a willingness to laugh. I look forward to meeting you. :)
