I am a positive and fun loving person who loves new experiences and meeting new people. I am a Special Education Director at a Montessori High School in the Bay Area and a Yoga instructor. I recently moved back to the Bay Area after living in Hawaii. I love being by the ocean, forest, mountains and anywhere in nature. Exploring the world and finding the best spots locally is my passion. And of course, I love food! There is nothing I do not eat.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To try something new and to meet good people. I am always up for an adventure and looking for the next place to travel to. It would make it so much more interesting if I can stay with good people who are familiar with the area which would make my travels that much better.

Interests

I spend my free time filling up my cup with all the things I love doing. I get out in nature to go hiking, swimming, kayaking or stand up paddle. I am also a big sports fan so I love to attend and watch any local sporting events. Yoga fulfills my mind, body and soul. I cook to nourish my body and gather with friends to share a feast. I like to complement all my interests and engage in all of them mindfully.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach yoga and the love for the simple things in life. Learn from others' experiences and wisdom. Share a sense of community, stories, drinks, food and laughter.

What I Can Share with Hosts
