Enjoying life…expanding my mind and lived experience.

I’ve been living in New Orleans since 2009. I was in Humboldt County, CA prior to that. I enjoy time outdoors, sightseeing, engaging conversation…laughing!

LiveAwake. DieDreaming.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I enjoyed hosting when I was living in Humboldt and I’ve met some great people on the network. I've lived in a household where virtually all the ladies hosted from time to time...it was wonderful being able to meet so many new, amazing people whom I might never have been acquainted with otherwise.

Interests

Enjoy thought-provoking conversation. Walking and spending time outdoors. Reading and taking in new information. Meditation. Cooking. Trying new things. I’m a big fan of lounging and spa days- massages!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Some of the work I’ve done is featured in the Vice Impact Documentary “SHELTER” filmed at Covenant House New Orleans (2017).

Teach, Learn, Share

I have worked with children, youth, and families in various educational and residential settings for decades. I have supervised/painted a few murals, helped with youth-filmed documentary projects and implemented holistic mental health programming at a prominent youth shelter. I’ve worked in social services in New Orleans for over a decade with people experiencing homelessness. More recently my focus in private practice has been providing mental health support and resourcing for other social service providers, and New Orleans musicians and culture bearers.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my insights, experiences, and an overall good time. We will laugh together!
