CURRENT MISSION

To travel, learn, be joyful, be compassionate, and be of service to others.

ABOUT ME

I like being in nature, making art, cooking, dancing, reading, laughing frequently, getting into deep conversations, and brainstorming on how to make the world more just and equitable. I welcome everyone and every experience as a teacher.

PHILOSOPHY

Everything is a lesson if you let it be.
The Universe conspires for you.
You are the universe in ecstatic motion. ✨

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet other wanderers, travel in a mindful way that embraces people, places, and the planet, and to open my home to others when I have the opportunity.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

10 days of silent meditation in the Joshua Tree desert.

And because it's hard to pick just one, I'll add skydiving in Namibia. 🍃

Teach, Learn, Share

I love learning about anything and everything - people, environments, history, perspectives, and especially enjoy learning languages! I can offer for trade the knowledge of a few delicious plant-based recipes, natural home remedies, and chords on the ukulele.
