About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to do a handstand pushup

ABOUT ME

I LOVE dancing! Salsa, bachata, tango, merengue, cha cha - vamos! It's fun to connect with different dance communities around the world.

I'm a good food lover, and it's even better when I can grow it. Best of all is to share it :) And when you can combine that with being outdoors (i.e. having a picnic) and hiking = life is good.

PHILOSOPHY

I love learning about everything related to poop - that's right: waste management and recycling, water usage, composting toilets and humanure. compost that shit! literally.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I used to live around the corner from the CouchSurfing headquarters in California and we would hang out, drink beer, and hula hoop.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Cooperative living has brought many couchsurfers from all around the world to visit - everyone has been really great, no bad experiences!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was on the support crew and boat of my close friend Clara as she swam the 22 miles across the catalina channel off the coast of LA. - it was amazing!!!

Teach, Learn, Share

I love playing athletically with people - doing cartwheels and handstands, playing capoeira, acroyoga, being a kid (never lose touch with that side!).
