CURRENT MISSION: To explore, broaden my perspective, and to engage with diversity.

I'm a curious woman who loves to explore, play, and try new things. I enjoy parties and DANCING, but also love peaceful downtime (yoga, reading, nature) - a balance of the two is important to me.

An animal lover and an artist.

Plant-based diet for 1.5 years and growing. I am passionate about healthy food that offers health and happiness. I am constantly learning how to be a better cook and love adventurous dishes!

Additionally, I am a yoga teacher, dancer, and performance artist. I love to play and move. I have been deeply involved with the performing arts scene in Seattle and have enjoyed mentoring new performers and directing shows. Whether its practicing acroyoga with a friend, twirling my silk veil fans in nature, or hiking up a mountain - I am most at peace when I have the opportunity to use my body and express myself.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet people of all cultures and customs! :)

I believe that happiness and fulfillment require an individual to have a deep connection with themselves and with the world around them. Couchsurfing will offer the opportunity to learn how to integrate diversity in my life and connect more deeply with the world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

YOGA! (teach/share/learn)
In 2017, I received my 200hr yoga teaching certification. Focused in Vinyasa, my flows are heavily influenced by a connection to the breath, awakening prana. I appreciate creative and purposeful sequencing to craft a class that leaves students feeling accomplished and blissful. In addition, I have a solid educational foundation and a passion for community support. As a certified Level 1 ACROVINYASA™️ Teacher, I am thrilled to inspire communication, trust, and friendship through sharing the practice of partner yoga.

Native English Speaker (share)
Although I am not trained to teach english as a second language, I would love to share english conversation and assist in learning!

Plant-Based Cooking (share/teach/learn)
I am a forever student in this department - I'm only just beginning my journey in the plant-based world and would love to share ideas and recipes with you! I love to cook delicious and colorful meals. I would love to see your favorite meals prepared and try some of your favorite local foods!

Things I'm excited to learn more about:
* CULTURES, CUSTOMS, DIVERSITY
* Gardening, permaculture, eco-sustainable living
* Y O G A! I am a forever student of the practice.
* The arts - all kinds - music, movement, visual arts, etc.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Honest and fun conversation - I am always excited to learn about people and their lifestyle - what makes them tick. I can share stories of my travels around the world and aspirations for the years to come.

Good company! I have energy and love to try new things - so I will happily accompany you to your favorite coffee spot, your favorite yoga/fitness class, or for an adventure with good spirits and curiosity!

I can share yoga teachings - but I especially love to share acroyoga (partner yoga). Acroyoga is a SUPER fun way to build trust, community, and playfulness! If you've never tried yoga or acro, I'd love to show you why I love it so much!

Dancing - all the dancing. Dancing brings me joy and if it does for you too, well we should revel in that joy together! I would love to be your dance partner for a night out or a class!

Performing arts - In Seattle, I perform a number of talents frequently, including dance, stilt-walking, fire performance, silk fan veil performance, and more! (Depending on which props I am traveling with) I would be thrilled to share a skill with you!
