CURRENT MISSION

Meet wonderful people that share my interests and are interested in kindness, compassionate and authentic interaction.

ABOUT ME

I grew up in CA, and presently living and working in the East Bay of SF area.

I taught middle and high school for a decade, just completed traveling around the world for a year.

Had the most amazing yoga teacher training in Denver, that opened my heart and mind.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is uncertain, eat dessert first.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hope to share fun, activities, information about where I live, and the many places I have traveled to.

Love meeting CSers that have such generosity and kindness. Happy to host those that I can, and share my knowledge of the Bay Area that I love. So much beauty and fun here!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

In Italy, South Africa, India, Nepal, and Thailand, Colorado, Arizona...and of course: California!

There are great people everywhere.

Interests

I love to eat! Yummy, local, fresh, in season food is heavenly to me. Dance, Yoga, Hike, Run, Reading, and of course...Eating are a few of my favorite things.

I just got my second certification as a yoga teacher. So much to learn.

I am returning to teaching in California after a 2 year hiatus. I believe youth need love, laughter, and someone that believes in their excellence.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Danced a House of Ill repute and had my hair brushed by many beautiful women.
Spontaneously taught 50 kids to dance in India at a school.
Stopped a mob of 120 kids from trouncing each other over one soccer ball by dividing them into harmony parts and leading them in a improvised chorus.
Jumped higher than the Taj Mahal.
Swam around a fishing boat while 4 fisherman laughed at me.

Teach, Learn, Share

All sorts with an open heart, humility, wicked sense of laughter. People from so many different walks of life interest me, especially from different countries that have a radically different way of being raised than myself.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Eating, Cooking, Laughter, Stories and Gratitude.
