I'm a 34 year old personal chef/world traveler/artist/gardener/nature Spirit. I love being outside and enjoy walking in nature. I especially love waterfalls, thunderstorms, and dancing in the rain. I hope to travel to every continent. I love preparing meals fresh from a garden while listening to good music. I am especially interested in ancient goddess culture and women's empowerment and health. I am so grateful for this life, I hope you like to laugh and smile!

Impromptu dance parities are important!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I joined Couchsurfing to expand my network, and for cultural enrichment. I love culture, I love learning about the food, the music, the environment, the things that make a place unique. I'd also just like to meet more industrious and creative people who like to work together to problem solve and do fun things together. I love discovering and learning new things!!

I've hitchhiked through Central America, lived in a van traveling around selling art at music festivals, lived in Colorado, Brooklyn, and for some time on an organic blueberry farm in Ohio.

Teach, Learn, Share

Recently did a yoga training, I love restorative classes and classes that focus on breath and calming the nervous system. I can also teach healthy cooking, gluten and dairy free. My specialities are Thai, Indian, Mexican and American comfort food. I also am an avid gardener with a permaculture background. Have dabbled in cob natural building. I would love to learn more about natural building, dancing, yoga, meditation, and playing music. Im currently learning ukulele and would eventually love to learn to play violin. I am a life long learner, I love to learn and to share what I have learned with others.
