About Me

IF REQUESTING TO STAY WITH ME: You must message me at least two weeks in advance. NO last minute requests - sorry!

CURRENT MISSION

To enjoy this time in my life by traveling often, learning about new cultures, making friends across the globe, and eating wonderful things.

ABOUT ME

Extroverted, curious, active and optimistic. Several years ago I started teaching yoga full time and it continues to be a source of personal and professional inspiration and enrichment.

PHILOSOPHY

I know many people that always have reasons for not getting outside of their comfort zone but I feel like that is the only way to feel grounded. This world is just begging to be experienced and explored.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I often attend couchsurfing events when I am traveling. They provide a great opportunity to socialize with a community of open-minded people.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've couchsurfed in Bologna and Stockholm, and have taken two road trips (Australia & New Zealand) with other CSers. All were such wonderful and enriching experiences. My goal in 2016 is to host!

Interests

Running, hiking, local eats, museums, comedy shows, yoga, spirituality, live music.

Music, Movies, and Books

90's r&b and hip hop, electronic, folk, motown oldies.
Rhythm of Life - Matthew Kelly
The Untethered Soul - Michael Singer

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Scuba diving and swimming with a 10 meter long whale shark.

Teach, Learn, Share

People are fascinating to me because of how differently we all see and experience the world, yet there are so many universals that bind us together. I love people with a passion for music, cultures, healthy mind and body (which includes good food and drinks!) and a general love of learning.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Yoga (it's not just about stretching!), the experience of living in Silicon Valley (Google and Facebook are just a few miles away), being back in school in your 30's, staying positive and grounded :)

Countries I’ve Visited

Australia, Cambodia, Canada, Costa Rica, Denmark, England, Iceland, Italy, Japan, Maldives, Mexico, Myanmar, New Zealand, Portugal, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Thailand, Viet Nam

Countries I’ve Lived In

Spain
