About Me

My purpose on this path is to bring awareness back to the plants, nature's cycles, and exploring the human potential.

Over the years these interests have guided me through many beautiful learnings all over North and Central America.

I keep a beautiful tropical garden in South Florida where I learn and practice herbalism and permaculture. This is my offering to the community.

My travels and offerings have taught me to walk with indigenous eyes. I see my family in the animals and plants in the forest. I see my teachers and guides in the moutains and rivers of the Earth. I see God in the Sun.

Yoga and many other eastern traditions intrigue me deeply and I've inherited many practices from Ayruveda, Tantra, and chinese alchemy.
I'm always learning more and I'm super excited to travel to these places.

I enjoy creating music, making food, and I absolutly love plant walks.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Couch Surfing across Canada was how my CS journey began.
I met such beautiful souls and had such amazing experience.
I'm deeply grateful for this network of travelers.
Upon returning home to South Florida, I hosted a couple surfers
while I could.
It's all been a blessing.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My couch surfing experience has been amazing. I've been blessed to have met all of the wonderful souls I have through this network. I've surfed about a dozen couches across Canada so far and hosted 2 travelers in my own home.
