I'm 36 and love to eat, soul connect, play, and laugh. I'm a TOTAL foodie and come from a home where sharing meals represent love, family, and community. I would appreciate the opportunity to cook and/or eat together.

I am recently single (12/2020) and was also laid off. Because of those experiences, I left my home, city, and state to head out on the road. I am now single and mortgage-less 🙌🏼

What may appear to be a devastating loss has become the greatest experience of my life! I have been blessed to meet and connect with such incredible people during my travels and have been working on building my coaching business to launch in Fall.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I started Couchsurfing in 2006 and unfortunately wasn't able to remember my log in information so I'm starting my profile from scratch. I've had the opportunity to meet and host some amazing people, and have this site to thank for those memorable experiences.

Interests

I used to try and squeeze morsels of life into a 60+ work week (work and school) and now I'm fully living life while fitting in my studies as a traveling graduate student 🎓

"Losing everything" provided me with the opportunity to rediscover myself and dream again.

Music, Movies, and Books

My all-time favorite book is "The Four Agreements." It was a life changer!

Apart from that, I have books that capture my interest in the moment and am currently loving "The Body Keeps the Score" and "Warrior Heart Practice."

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One amazing thing I've done is come back to Couchsurfing!

2010 was the last time I "surfed" in Peru. My host was AMAZING and my mind was blown by his generosity. At the end of my stay, I went to Arequipa and survived an express kidnapping. That experience dampened my traveling spirit. I've spent the past two years traveling on my own in "safe" places and have been baby stepping back to the wild traveling spirit I once was.

I'm now traveling across the country and reconnecting with my wise, intuitive self.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: I have expertise in various healing modalities as well as mindfulness, post traumautic growth, conscious/transformational/servant leadership, and consciousness studies.

Learn: I LOVE learning about life, history, hobbies, and people and am open to soaking it all up.

Share: I can share my passions with those I meet along the way and provide support and listening without judgment.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share parts of my story and business expertise to inspire hope and empowerment.

I can also join experiences with an open mind and curiosity. I love to listen and talk, and thoroughly enjoy meeting new people and learning about their culture.

If mini inspiration coaching sessions are desired, I can offer those as well ❤️
