Raised in the San Francisco Bay Area, but spent the past 7 years in Chicago, both feel like home or at least a nostalgic sense of home. I have been traveling/ living on the road since February 2016. Now living as a nomad feels a bit more like home, and my place of birth is simply that.

I am a performance artist and contemporary /modern dancer. I enjoy dancing, hiking, cycling, rock climbing, scuba diving, and yoga.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Quit my job and sold my belongings in February 2016 and have been traveling ever since. When I travel, I like to get away from the tourist mindset and try to immerse myself in whatever country and culture I am in as if I live there rather than simply a visitor. If I can stay or connect with people who actually live there, via couchsurfing, then I will have a better chance of getting a more authentic perspective of the places I go. Traveling is not about crossing off a checklist of the places I go or see, but to really experience them from multiple perspectives.
