Hey there! I'm a teacher and artist. I'm 38 and chill, confident, not a party person but definitely a music and friends and yoga person. I love to walk around exploring, cook and grow good food, make art and crafts, sing, walk, and learn. Very interested in traditional ways of life, crafts, plants.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m traveling for “work” (designing my own course of study and traveling to learn from other experts). I have a very small budget but I love meeting real people in the areas I’m traveling to!

Trips I’m taking now:
January 2018: Belize, central America. Just a beautiful vacation with some friends! This will be my second January in Belize and although I am a budget traveler, I get so much out of my time backpacking around beautiful tropical places. It’s deep winter back where I come from, so I feel lucky to be skipping out on the cold!

February 2018: Gujarat, India! I’m a batik & dye artist coming to study & film traditional Gujarati textile traditions. Show me the fabrics!

March 2018: South Goa, Gokarna, Mumbai
