CURRENT MISSION

To see what is out there and to remember to have an adventure of a time.

ABOUT ME
I made a couch surfing account in college when I was studying abroad and have never used it, trying it now while I travel solo for the first time in 10 years!

I enjoy trying new things, especially outdoor recreation and food, being incredibly silly and playful, having a heart felt conversation, and making art or music by a fire. I almost always prefer to be outside.

I am in a place in my life where ‘God’ is venturing into the wilderness, and crying and laughing with someone at the same time.

Currently working on falling madly in love with myself. Please laugh, it should be funny, but also, it’s time.

PHILOSOPHY

In progress. or maybe on hold- except when my liberal, quaker, alternative, green, privileged, American upbringing gets the better of me, momentarily

Algo increíble que he hecho

Been part of a traditional Hindi wedding in small town Uttar Pradesh. Ask me for more. I LOVE talking about all the fascinating unusual travel and short term projects I’ve participated in.

Enseña, aprende, comparte

I want to learn: basic comedic improv! More ASL, or almost any language. Acrobatics. More wilderness/survivalist skills. Traditional preservation and canning. Cooking traditional healing foods.

Things I can teach or share:
Guided meditation
Massage (I’m a hobby masseuse, but it works best if we know and trust each other, so, no promises!)
Some American Sign Language phrases
Active listening skills
Interactive games and group challenges
How to cook some traditional family recipes
