ABOUT ME

I am an advocate of healthy eating, movement, nature therapy, empathy, community and tribe living. Before my daughter came along in August 2018, my primary occupation was personal training and life coaching. As I want to spend 24/7 with my daughter, I've shifted more into health coaching via way of super food nutrition and skype online training sessions. I spend my free time building a community of like minded parents and friends for Aja to be around. My vision for my husband, Dennis, and my daughter and I is to have freedom (time and financial) to travel around and World School our daughter. To spend time discovering the world and the ways of life through LIVING.

My partner, Dennis is a life coach who focuses on supporting people within their relationships as well as creating more vitality and health in their bodies. He studies and shares Human Design as well. He's also a massage therapist, and does web development.

We are ready for the learning journey ahead and look forward to finding some amazing teachers along the way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Traveling for me is about connecting with the community. Couchsurfing is a great way to jump start this connection in each place I go. To be able to get a better sense of culture and real life in the area as well as connect with my host. I am continuously inspired by the generosity I find through CS.

It's great to connect with new people over meals and get to know what inspires them, what drives them, swap stories and share experiences.

Couchsurfing has made travel possible and so much deeper than a hotel ever could. LOVE meeting and connecting with other travelers and like minded people.
