CURRENT MISSION

to be passionately curious & curiously passionate

ABOUT ME

I'm an avid learner, loving friend, lazy artist, imperfect yogi, and aspiring vagabond, among other things. I'm often told I have a calming influence and mellow energy. I enjoy novelty, mountaintops, large bodies of water, soulful meanderings, and uncontrollable fits of laughter. I appreciate the simple things in life. I cherish meaningful relationships and deep connections, however transient. I try to live in the moment with grace and intention and recognize the beauty inherent in everything.

PHILOSOPHY

It's all about the journey, not the destination.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Mi casa es su casa. I also teach yoga (hatha, vinyasa) and am happy to exchange private yoga classes for couch space. Whether you are new to yoga or have been practicing a long time, I would love to share it with you.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Everyone I've met and surfed with has been absolutely wonderful. What an awesome alternative to a hotel, with the added benefit of building a global network of friends.
