Hey! I'm Zeme. I'm a Craniosacral Therapist and bodyworker, and holistic somatic therapist. I am into ecopsychology, behavioral neuroscience, and neurolinguistics. I just earned a TEFL certification in Crete and have been traveling since May. I'm back in the US and teaching English online and where ever will have me for classes. I'm amping up my year for PhD application season.

I have lived in many amazing places in my lifetime: New Hampshire, Boston, Western Massachusetts, Maine, Kauai, San Francisco Bay Area, Northern California, Thessaloniki and Crete, Greece.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I recently earned a TEFL Certificate in Chania, Crete, Greece and was traveling since May. I got a really great job in Thessaloniki teaching at a private school. I had to come back to the US for the paperwork process, so I am here waiting to see how this work permitting turns out.

Since I am traveling a lot and in transition to see whether I go back to Greece soon, I am looking for some places to stay and looking forward to meeting some cool new pals along the way.

Interests

I am not part of Nature, I am Nature. I am very much a water-bringer and soil lover. I love helping people plant trees and design flower and food gardens, waterscapes, fish tanks and irrigation systems. I love to play and enjoy team building work, outdoor activities and combining them into the therapeutic work I do.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent many months living with two of my best friends ever, some identical twins I became like brothers with - sharing a small tent altogether around Kauai. When we were hiking back from Kalalau, I survived a fall off the Nāpali Coast Trail. *Angels are real, I tell you.*
