Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe in the power of family and community, and I believe that these concepts can outstretch across the seas and lands to connect the continents.

I love to travel and meet people from all walks of life. Human connection is beautiful : )

Interests

I love spending time in nature; hiking barefoot, swimming in streams, lakes and oceans, climbing trees, standing under waterfalls, foraging for wild food/medicine, laying in warm grass, mimicking bird songs, staring at the moon and stars, napping on fallen trees and yes, hugging the standing ones : )

I'm a big fan of: traveling, beautiful conversations, bonding with family, creating healthy food/drinks, plants, wilderness, music, writing, sustainable living, gardening, collecting stones from all over the world, reading, weaving dream catchers, making friends with animals, plants...and humans! : )

I extra enjoy learning about holistic wellness thru herbalism, food, yoga, personal lifestyle, and meditation.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiked the Redwood Forest & fjords of Norway barefoot.

Celebrated Midsommar in the mountains of Sweden; one of the most magical weekends of my life :)

Spent a week in Santorini while it was completely empty.

Survived a Brown Recluse spider bite to the back of the knee.

Honestly though, Vipassana Meditation courses are pretty amazing. I find them to be life altering in a most magical way. I'm intrigued in the inner journey just as much as my outer journeys :)

Teach, Learn, Share

We all have our gifts to share with each other, and I'm positive these gifts will unfold upon our meeting :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

A friendly moment in time thru pleasant conversation, a moment of stillness, a nature walk, or even some yoga :)

P.S
I would love to make you a super yummy smoothie if at all possible.
