I'm a professional singer/musician, voice teacher/activist, event organizer, and E-RYT vinyasa yoga teacher by passion and trade. I have an interdisciplinary performance background and a lifetime of arts education, so I have a high aptitude for getting weird and going down deep rabbit holes.

I love to explore the heights and depths of my own consciousness. In between dancing in lighter realms of existence, I’ve studied vipassana, yoga and sacred plants in depth, and would say I possess an endless curiosity to better understand myself and the world around me. I am so fascinated and inspired by this life. I love exploring these realms and sharing experiences.

I am deeply moved by the basic goodness we all possess when caught in glimpses, by life’s simple sweetness, by poetry in motion, by creative genius, by humbleness, and by the ongoing hilarity that is life. I always maintain my sense of humor!

I love connecting with people from different places and perspectives and finding the ways we overlap. I’m down to share quality space and time, share a meal, go on an adventure, or try something new. If I’m hosting, I’m happy to show you around.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting new friends from around the world. I love sharing perspectives and connecting with people I might otherwise never meet. I love the idea of supporting other travelers on their journeys.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

All the work I do and have done around facilitating others to tap into their own voice, power and creativity are collectively the most amazing thing I’ve ever done.

Also: road tripping around California & Oregon solo for 5 months in 2019!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share some music if you like, teach you a lil something about singing/music theory/guitar/keys/mantra, or share some breath work/meditation/yoga stuff.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can serenade you with songs, cook you a vegetarian meal, provide some quality conversation, and teach you what I know about music and yoga. I also have plenty of stories to share, depending on the ground we cover.

Countries I’ve Visited
