Twenty-three years on this planet and I've learned that the present moment is the only true place to be alive. In these moments I fill it with making art, music, running my cat furniture business, having great conversations, travelling the world, meditating, acting like a third grader, and staying nimble. I'm open-minded, open-heart'd, and love nothing more than meeting new people. There's a friend in each and every one of us, when differences drift away and similarities are rejoiced.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Life is about learning, and I cannot avoid learning an abundance of new things when I meet people from faraway lands. Couchsurfing is honestly an amazing way to stay away from hotels and dive into the real culture of wherever you are. Cooking a meal with a host and their family or ripping a bong with their neighbors is the real, authentic way to travel.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Woke up today :)

VIETNAM April/May 2018 - 2 week 1000+ KM motorbike tour around the northern, mountainous region of the country. Met some of the most friendliest, kind-heart'd people in the world, and saw some of the most beautiful sights this planet has to offer. Also, ate some of the freshest, flavorful food in the world Buddha Style (An Chay, Vegan!) A life changing adventure.

FRANCE/ SWITZERLAND October/November 2017 - Rode a bike 150+ miles through some of the most hilly/mountainous roads and beautiful country landscapes France had to offer. Camped in the woods for five nights in my hammock and didn't meet too many new people, but I did make some new mountain friends :) A life changing adventure.

IRELAND June 2017 - My first international bike tour consisted of a 100+ mile loop of county Kerry. Ireland is a TRUE SPECTACLE. The mountains are full of rich, Celtic wisdom and the people are so jolly and chipper. When I got back to the US i quit my full-time jerb and now put all of my energy into my own business! A life changing adventure.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd like to share travel memories/stories with anyone at all. Any stories that you know you learned a great deal from, these conversations we can grow together from.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Smiles, friendliness, kindness. A meditation session :)
