Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I'm looking to find a new mid-sized city to call home, and want to be back on the East Coast. Am excited to explore the Smokey Mountain region, and hopefully find a location and community that feels like home, where I can plant some roots. Am interested in starting an educational wellness center one day focused on promoting sustainability, healing, friendship, spirituality (no religious affiliation) and self-discovery. Join me!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I went traveling in Tanzania after studying abroad in Kenya my senior year of college and was completely blown away by the friendliness of the people, physical beauty of the country, as well as the melding of African, Indian, and Middle Eastern cultures. Everything was so vibrant and alive.
I am also continually struck by the beauty of where I grew up in Western, MA - especially in the fall when the leaves change colors and the air is crisp and smells like the earth.
