Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION: Grow through what I go through. Self love, discipline, and compassion.
ABOUT ME: I am a traveling yoga instructor, language teacher, writer, artist (dancer, photographer, singer, ...), naturalist on the road. I left my apartment in New York City four years ago and have since walked the Camino de Santiago, began my musical journey with the Ukelele, lived and taught yoga in Morocco, sat my first Vipassana meditation course, made countless friends, hopped about the Middle East, explored Eastern Europe by hitchhiking, and am now Stateside learning about the plants, the land, the native peoples and traditions, seeing just where I may plant myself (if at all) ! My plans are open and flexible and I look forward to meeting and, someday soon, hosting, couchsurfers and like-minded magical people from all around the world.
PHILOSOPHY:
Everything is energy.
You are me I am you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
At the moment, meeting people along the way and being an ambassador for the movement, spreading the good word as I go.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I’ve been hosting friends and friends of friends and staying with couchsurfing hosts for almost ten years now. Great experiences in Spain, Poland, and Morocco!
Interests
I am interested in all things yoga, dance, movement, and spirit related - as well as astrology, shamanism, plant medicine, and sustainable agriculture/permaculture. I am also a huge fan of words, languages, cultures, and history, so you can find me geeking out on city tours, asking random questions about words in your language, and reading tourist information plaques at random sites around town. I love to be in nature, close to the beach, in the mountains, and by the trees. Dance and music flows through me - would love to sing, jam, or dance about with you. Also, could clear the space in your house, read your cards, and teach you some yoga :)
