CURRENTLY EN ROUTE from BIG SUR, CA --> ASHEVILLE, NC

*Van dweller, backpacker- in the process of nesting and resting from nomadic life. I'm so excited to ground into a home and daily rhythm to record an album, continue training in qi gong, expand my leathercraft business and practice tea ceremony!

*I'm a dreamer, devoted to living life artfully and in flow.

* I love connecting with adventurous, open-hearted people who are excited by exchange and the magic that is created in pure presence

* I value reciprocity in all my connections; whether I'm hosting or being hosted, I feel most fulfilled when cultivating inspiring friendships

* Exploring the infinite wonders of this existence, seeking wisdom and creative collaborators

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As a resident of Earth, my quest is to form a relationship with each place I experience. I fall in love with a place by experiencing it with locals. Couchsurfing is connecting me with amazing characters, making life so much more fun!

*I'm especially interested in making sister connections- let's sing, dance, drum, craft, play with magic over tea!
