Hello :) I am a 30-something yoga teacher, traveler, and student of the world from the United States. I love the outdoors, connecting deeply with others, film photography, writing, and moving intentionally through the world. I studied philosophy and almost always have a book of some kind on me. I am open to genuine connection, new experiences, and showing up to whatever life has in store for me. I've traveled extensively through Asia, Europe, and parts of South America.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love this community and have met so many amazing people over the years.
