Hi! I love to travel and explore, spend time with/connect with people, hike and backpack, do yoga/meditation, listen to all kinds of music, dance, go to festivals, spend time with animals, write, read, and eat (eating might seem like an obvious one but its too important to leave out). I enjoy balancing myself and my life between fun and chill. I'm an open and direct person.

I have been living in Portland, Oregon (USA) for about 6 years and I have decided to take some time off working to do some traveling. I am starting with India in August of 2019 and I'm not sure yet where I'll be going next! :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love the idea of connecting with people who live where I am traveling so that I can meet people where I'm going and have a more authentic visiting experience. I'd love to experience places less like a tourist and more like a guest!

Teach, Learn, Share

I love teaching, learning and sharing. I can teach about yoga/meditation/mindfulness and mental health. I'd love to learn more about gardening and art.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm happy to use my skills or energy to share with hosts. Whether that's walking you through some yoga or mindfulness, helping in the kitchen or with household tasks, or helping out with your animals.... I'm sure we can find something we can agree on!
