Hi!

I love traveling and being immersed in different cultures. I used to work in international development in East Africa. Now, I'm transitioning towards becoming a psychotherapist.

I enjoy going to dance performances and art museums. I love being out in nature and in smaller towns in rural areas. I especially like being near flowing water, like the ocean or rivers and lakes. I practice yoga and meditation when I am home.

I love getting to know people and hearing about what matters most to them, and what their dreams are for their future and their family.

I don't drink alcohol and I don't smoke. I prefer not to be around big noisy crowds.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to travel and meet people. I like to try to see more of what real life is like for people living in a place, rather than just doing things that only tourists do. I enjoy learning about local foods and art. Couch surfing has been a great way to meet friendly people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I designed bicycle ambulances in Zambia and Madagascar to help bring people from remote areas to health centers.

I hiked from the South Rim of the Grand Canyon (USA) to the bottom and up again in two days.
