I grew up in Oregon, lived in the South for 6 years and have been in the Midwest for the past 8. My background is in medicine (psychiatry), but about 3 years ago I changed careers and now run a media production company with two friends, in addition to teaching yoga . I love music and organize a small concert and art series in my town. I absolutely love my work.

I enjoy traveling and have been fortunate to travel a bit in the past ten years. I enjoy meeting new people and exploring new places, and am always hoping to learn more about the world.

I have a very cute cat named Freddie Mercury, who is my best friend when I am home. He is very friendly and plays fetch.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've heard great things from friends and it seems like awesome people would be into it. Seems like a great way to travel on a budget! Visiting a new place is always better when a local can show you around.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Three years ago I quit my job practicing medicine and changed careers. It was a difficult choice and possibly crazy, but it was the right choice for me. I love my work now, and the amazing people I meet doing it.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to cook you a delicious breakfast!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm super friendly and I love a great conversation. I'll do the dishes! I used to be a psychiatrist. I'm really good at social media if you need help with that. I can teach yoga, meditation and barre.
