Hi :)

I'm a woman in my late thirties, trying to build a life I love. I'm a bit of an introvert and generally quiet, unless you get me talking about something I'm deeply interested in. Psychology, self development, and spirituality are areas that I like to go deep into with close friends. Fitness and nutrition too.

I am working to build my online fitness and nutrition coaching business, which is a dream that is coming to fruition after about 9 years of visioning and baby steps. So lots of zoom calls and online classes! But I also teach out of a few studios in the Bay Area, California.

I can be kind of shy, so I don't necessarily start conversations but I'm quite friendly once you start talking to me 😁

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love living in the Bay Area, California. Although I'm hustling, teaching classes at several local studios, the 2020 gym closure reduced my schedule severely, so it's been difficult to find a space within my budget as a single professional. As gyms re-open and I take on more classes/clients, I am getting there. However, I'd like to save some of the money to afford a place of my own.

Throughout my life, I have rarely allowed myself to rely on other for help. But as I get older, I realize that there are people out there willing to offer what they can to support others on their journeys. I am grateful for the that. And I hope that once I am settled, I'll be able to pay it forward and offer others the same kindness.

In the meantime, as things open up, how great would it be to make new friends and connections?

Interests

Back when night clubs were a thing, I used to love to go dancing on the weekends! I hope they come back again, but even if they don't, I still dance from time to time at home. I also love singing karaoke. I sang in choirs throughout my life and although I'm not a religious person these days, I miss the joy that came along with singing.

As for exercise, yoga, and weight lifting, I found a career doing what I love, so it's probably no surprise that these three things are a part of my daily life!

• singing
• dancing
• cocktails
• fitness
• exercise
• yoga
• karaoke
• eating
• the beach
• weight lifting
• gluten free cooking

Music, Movies, and Books

I'll listen to almost any kind of music, but I particularly enjoy hip hop, pop, and EDM.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Launched my online coaching business during shelter in place in 2020! I had a dream to launch by the time I'm 40, but of course, 2020 changed everything. I'm happy to have started building the life I love, even though it was amidst a ton of chaos.

Teach, Learn, Share

Not sure what to say in this section, but I'm happy to share my experiences, knowledge, and perhaps a few laughs with cool people :)

What I Can Share with Hosts
