I am a citizen of the world, a traveler, an adventurer, an artist, a student, a teacher, an old soul with a young heart.

Also, I have just moved to Seattle (as of late August 2017) for grad school and am interested in meeting new people and seeing all that the PNW has to offer! :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people & fellow travelers! :)

Interests

Travel (of course!), food (pescetarian with vegan tendencies), wine, beer, continual self-improvement and self-awareness, spreading some happiness and joy in the world we live in. :)

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoying reading mostly non-fiction, consisting mainly of travel memoirs and topics of world religions, spirituality, self-discovery, etc.

I love a wide variety of music genres. If I had to "classify" a favorite type, I suppose I most enjoy Alt/Indie Rock. Lucius, Sharon Van Etten, St. Vincent, Cat Power to name a few. But then again, I also adore artists such as Ratatat, Toots and the Maytals, and Radiohead.

For movies, I enjoy comedies, documentaries (on healthy/sustainable lifestyle, historical events, nature, music, anthropology, travel), as well as independent and foreign films.

Favorite quote:
"The purpose of life is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience." ~ Eleanor Roosevelt

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A few things I suppose. I used to work and live aboard private yachts (for about 5 years), back when I was more adventurous than I have been recently. And, what I am most fond of - I have hiked 500 miles across Spain on el Camino de Santiago. A most beautiful and awe-inspiring experience.
