Hi! I currently am a Pilates instructor living in Arizona. I'm passionate about what I do for a living: helping people to feel better in their bodies and to do what they love with more confidence in their movement and less risk of injury. I'm also an advocate for our wild spaces. I believe in leaving things better than you found them. I'm lucky to be able to practice what I preach as a mentor and ambassador for Keep It Wild Co. I've recently discovered and become obsessed with good coffee and really enjoy exploring new places by their coffee shops. I love the way local shops bring people together and support local economies.

I've been a little MIA from Couchsurfing for the past few years because of my roommate situation. I am currently still unable to host, but I'm hoping that will change very soon (by year end). I still absolutely love to give advice and help people find ways to love the local Arizona culture. I've loved seeing how my city has grown and how much more people are focusing on community and finding ways to connect with one another. I'm minorly (read: majorly) obsessed with Phoenix and would get a lot of joy from helping you to experience it!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm new to couchsurfing, but I've been interested in it as long as I've known about it. I decided to make an account and give it a shot as I was planning a trip to the UK and Ireland with a friend to visit our other friend who was studying abroad in Leeds.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Some friends and I stayed with a lovely group of gentlemen in Ireland and a fantastic group of ladies in Scotland for my first go-round. It's been wonderful so far! I've now also added a host of hosts throughout the western states from a solo road trip I went on. Forever grateful for the friends I've made!

Music, Movies, and Books

I most enjoy music, movies and books that can make me smile. Music that rekindles at positive memories... Movies and books that contain humor and real human relationships...

Teach, Learn, Share

This is maybe a little odd, but I love what I do for work, and I wouldn't mind sharing some of that as needed. I work with a lot of people who have pain and injuries (back pain is so much more common than you'd think), and a lot of it can be eased by strengthening weak muscles to help restore balance. If you happen to think you can benefit from that, I don't mind sharing a few tips and tricks to help out!

Otherwise, I'm happy to share stories and smiles!
