About Me

Hello,

I'm a veteran traveler of about 3 years now in 3 continents and a seasoned lifetime volunteer. Now I am in Europe and looking for opportunities to be in a nourishing and reflective environment that I can help co-create with existing residents and contribute in whatever way I can.

I've previously been a member of an international spiritual non-profit called the Art of Living growing up and in my young adulthood. After going to University, I fell a bit out of spiritual practice and am looking to lead a simple, wholesome lifestyle.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've hosted several people in the past in the San Francisco Bay Area, which I thoroughly enjoyed. I love showing people around where I live, it makes me feel like I myself am seeing it for the first time again. Now I'm traveling and would love to see what its like being on the other end of things.

Interests
