About Me
Hello! Bonjour! Hola!
This year has brought me so much change and so much personal development. After leaving my miserable job, I decided to plan a trip before moving to a new place. I am passionate about science, marine biology, yoga, hiking, volunteering, and starting my own business, which I am currently working on launching.
I will be doing a yoga teacher training soon (during my travels) so that I will be certified to teach. I started doing yoga as a workout routine, but it soon developed into a spiritual practice because it challenged my mind in meditation and challenged my body to be stronger and more flexible. This practice got me into meditation, which led me into personal development. I have begun working on myself by removing emotional blocks, learning through books and people, and discovering why we do what we do. I will be immersing myself in this work to hopefully help others do the same.
In addition to teaching yoga and helping others, I would like to eventually study marine biology and help ocean conservation efforts. After my travels this autumn season, I will be moving to Miami to pursue that dream and make connections. When I move to Miami, I will be accepting people to couch surf at my place as well.
Thank you and I look forward to meeting many new people through this platform!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I will be traveling to China, Bali, and Singapore from October through the middle of November. I will be visiting a friend in China for a week. From China I fly to Bali, where I will spend a week traveling the island and three weeks in Nusa Lembongan doing a yoga teacher training.
**The following has not been booked yet, but will most likely happen**
From Bali I fly to Singapore, where I will spend a week traveling.
I am hoping to couch surf with like minded people during my week stay in Bali and another week stay in Singapore. In return, I will host guests when I move in Miami in November/December.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I've visited the Philippines twice to help an organization build strong homes for local people in poverty. My group and I fundraised money for the village, donated clothes and food to the people, helped pay for the materials to build the homes, and aided in the process of building the homes.
I hope to be able to do more work like this on a larger scale!
Teach, Learn, Share
I am a student of yoga currently, but I can teach yoga, acroyoga, and meditation. I love sharing my personal development journey and helping others become their best selves as well.
What I Can Share with Hosts
I can teach yoga flows, acroyoga, and meditation to those I stay with! Also, I love cooking so I'd love to cook with you or cook a meal for you!
