Conscientious, friendly, adventurous, kind and keeping a promise I made to myself when I turned 18- to go to a place (or a few) I've never been each year. I am active and love to hike, get into nature, am into healthy and unique foods and exploring new cultures and being open to new experiences.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I was a digital nomad for over 2 years living in a new place each month and in 2023 finally settled into Austin, TX (previously 5 years in San Francisco, CA, originally from that area). I am community-minded and love to experience other cultures and share what I can when it is of value. This community has always been so welcoming and I am grateful for the friends made here.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The Road to Santiago in Spain! I did the French Way plus Finnistere for about 20 miles a day/33 days Fall 2022.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have been meditating for over a decade and am an avid believer in keeping one's perspective authentic and positive since it's all that we can control. I'm increasingly interested in the subconscious and how we can create our realties with the power of our thoughts.

What I Can Share with Hosts

a positive attitude, adventurous spirit (love to explore new cities!), consideration, respect, gratitude, and fun/deep conversation, and cooking/baking healthy foods. Especially fond of vegan desserts even though I'm not strict-vegan.
