CURRENT MISSION

taking that fork in the road...and using it to eat my way around the world.

ABOUT ME

Teacher of yoga. http://www.yogiaustin.com
Writer of words. http://austin.eater.com
Lover of food. http://slowfoodaustin.org

I also have a very bad sense of direction...trying to learn to accept being in a constant state of lost.

PHILOSOPHY

Choosing gratitude as often as possible.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Have surfed throughout Japan and hosted tons of amazing characters in Taiwan and Boston. Just getting settled back in Austin and looking forward to showing folks my hometown.

Interests

Lover of all things food (which includes but is not limited to growing, cooking, eating, selling, reading/talking/writing about it)

Forrest yogi (because my practice has taught me that I have the strength to overcome even the once most seemingly impossible and that when things don't feel right side up in my life, it's usually helpful to try seeing the world upside down for a bit)

Beginner rock climber (because I have a serious napoleon complex and like to be up high)

Aspiring ukulele player (because a good song on the uke is the sound of true happiness...and by aspiring, I mean I now own a uke and can play three chords)
