The one thing I am most passionate about is learning. I love to learn about myself, about the world, and about others. When I am traveling I feel more connected to my deepest curiosity and therefore my ability to learn and be open to new perspectives significantly increases.

Always looking for a challenge and new ways I can grow, both professionally and personally.

Just a few fun things about me...
-I love to deeply listen to people and am always interested in hearing stories from people's lives.
-I go out dancing a lot and have done (contact improv, salsa, tango, ballroom)
-I play native american flute and currently learning to play the didgeridoo
-I try to go out into nature as much as possible, which living in the city can be a bit hard. My goal is 2 or 3 times a week.

In my professional life, I am following my passion, helping people reach their maximum potential by teaching emotional intelligence and mindfulness.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Traveling around Italy, and wanting to meet locals to hang out with and show me around. I will most likely be traveling alone so wanting to connect with people and have adventures. I have stayed in hostels before, and also nice hotels, but have never tried couch surfing. Heard so many good things about it, so want to give it a shot.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Packed up everything I owned into my car and drove across the country to re-settle in a new place. I know it may not seem like much, but it is a pretty amazing adventure to move to a completely new place.

Something else that comes to mind is hitchhiking around Hawaii and camping by myself on the beach for a week - living mostly off coconuts.

Teach, Learn, Share

I actually love to teach and to share what I know so happy to share anything I can.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share stories of my travels, teach about meditation, cook some yummy food for them (Indian, Mexican, or just simple tasty) Teach them how to juggle, talk about philosophy and life!
