RECENTLY
As a traveling dancer/dance instructor, I travel 30+ weekends a year mainly for dance events. I recently spent a month in Brazil to train in a dance I want to improve better, called Brazilian Zouk. I have been to 45 of the 50 states already, and am itching to travel more if possible.

CURRENT MISSION

To share and help people grow and develop. To explore and to dance.

ABOUT ME

I'm a full-time (whatever that could mean) dance instructor. I train, teach, choreograph, and dance a lot. My primary discipline is Salsa, but I also do West Coast Swing, Argentine Tango, Ballroom, and Brazilian Zouk.

I also do Ki Aikido and practice it daily. I haven't updated in quite some time.

I'm a traveler and I travel mainly to dance. I like learning travel hacking and making friends all over the world(but haven't traveled much outside the US)

I love conversations and teaching and dance. I love creating clear contexts in conversations so we can best understand each other.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Currently traveling and exploring my options. For the most part, I try to use CS as a last resort, because of all the people I already have met from other cities I visit, but I'm still getting used to this whole CS idea!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None to date from the CS website, but many recommendations! I have done so with people I have run into at a different city.

I can generally afford many places to stay, but I want to also keep options open.

Interests

I'm very open minded to many things. Dancing, martial arts, anime, meditation, books.

Music, Movies, and Books

Lots to list, but if you're interested in the music I listen to, ask when you meet me, I usually have my laptop around.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Waterfall diving? Survived many natural disasters, really all but a tornado.

Teach, Learn, Share

Protection is knowing how to confidently be vulnerable in any situation.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm a clear communicator and don't like to take advantage of people. I generally try to be courteous and if I'm out of line, I would like to know.
