About Me

I prefer the simple things in life like the silence of a fresh snowfall, a black cup of coffee, & a stary night sky.
My favorite way to adventure is through the wilderness with an abundance of snacks.
I LOVE trying new things, which makes me a jack of all trades and a master of none...
I attempt to live life as waste free as possible, doing my best to practice kindness to this earth.
Always down to chow down on some good vegan eats, or home made sweets!
I live for a good chat, learning about new cultures and seeing different ways of life.

We make sense of the world based upon our experiences,
and the best experiences, for me, are through human connection.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To see a place is one thing, but to experience it, to share stories and quality time, to learn about how and why-- those are the things you get from couch surfing experience.

As of JAN '22 I've become a full-time nomad, so at the moment I don't have a place of my own to host. However, I am more than happy to share any recommendations to people visiting London-- which includes ALL the best parks &vegan food in the city.

Music, Movies, and Books

books aren't really my thing.. but I keep saying maybe one day?
So far all I've completed is The Four agreements, the alchemist and the yoga sutras.

Music-- i LOVE exploring worldly beats and conscious dance music
If i could sum up my favorite style would be: worldly tribal techno, ethno beats and 90s dancehall track.s
essentially a fusion of cumbia, afro beats, samba, flamenco, brazialian dance music and classical spanish guitar, all blended with modern dance beats.

Movies-not really my jam. I appreciate a good laugh, but I'd rather be out and doing then sitting and watching

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

bought a one way ticket to india on a whim... I hadn't even tried indian food until I was on the flight there

backpacked through the grand canyon for an 8 night trip.. with only 1 day of backpacking experience, needless to say it was an emotional JOURNEY, but i survived with many stories to share.

bootpacked to the summit of BlackComb (whistler mountain, Canada) for a glorious ride down, I paused in tears of joy for the beauty of the experience

sumitted Mt.St.Helen's and slid down in a garbage bag ... (though I wouldn't recommend this method of descent )

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to share my yoga practice and meditation with you!

I also love a good card game, i'm happy to share with you some of my favourites- especially spoons and spot it

Hand hugs, a really good laugh, yoga, meditation, visualisation, ecstatic dance
