My current mission is to get closer to myself (it changes all the time). I own and help run an intentional cooperative in Orlando with seven passionate people. It is a gratifying 5 year project. My passions range from all forms of dancing, to reading an exhilerating book, to hosting community events, to teaching dance or fermentation, to music. I dropped out of school to pursue my passions full time, and I don't regret it! I love many aspects of life and am humbled by culture. I love doing new things- I love the fact that your brain makes neural connections with new experiences and opens your mind.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I really think it's a fantastic way for humans to meet- people on couchsurfing are usually into experiences over money, people over things- it's super refreshing. I'm all about gift economies, and this is a prime example of one. To live not so money centric is a beautiful thing!
Music, Movies, and Books
Books currently!: The Phantom Tollbooth- one of those books that you understand better the older you are. 10% Human- A look into the human gut biome and how it affects our body systems. God Of Small Things- Historical fiction of a family in India. Beautiful writing. Music currently: Jack Garratt Flume Hans Zimmer Favorite Movies: Planet Earth Any compelling documentary
One Amazing Thing I've Done
Bought the cooperative I stayed in- it's a beautiful place that I can call my own and share with other people.
Teach, Learn, Share
I can share about fermentation, conscious cooking, natural living, graphic design, dancing. I love learning about cultures, languages, dancing, nutrition, anything!
What I Can Share With Hosts
Gratitude, cooking meals, laughter. Anything that you would like! I teach a good class on hip hop dancing, dance expression, fermentation, basic real estate, and have some views on personal finance, living a good life, and good living in a modern world. I appreciate all gestures of kindness.
My Interests
I am into rewilding- or finding a good balance of humanism in a modern world. I try to embrace creativity through freestyle dancing, through poetry, through crafting events. My blissful moments are in bookstores or playing with others at a park.
