***Currently learning Japanese with my husband and are only looking to host Japanese guests.***

I am an adventurous, free spirit living in New York City! I currently teach fitness and yoga classes, as well as run my own private personal training business. I love to dance, play sports, drink wine, play with my dog, and explore as much as possible.

I travel with my husband, Brandon. He also works in fitness and yoga, but is also an artist and videographer.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing to have the most authentic travel experience possible. I want to connect with people all around the world, not just stay in hotels and be a tourist.
