ABOUT ME

I value honesty, connection, authenticity, sincerity, harmony, and growth. I am a Licensed Massage Therapist, I live in Austin, Texas with my husband Nathaniel. We traveled solo for years before finding one another and now we are learning to travel together.

We are both students of connection and communication through Non Violent Communication. There is a book by Marshall Rosenburg worth reading.

We love AcroYoga, Massage Therapy, and Traveling.

I am Seasonal, fun, always learning. I am grounded in my thoughts but I don't presume to have anything figured out. I want to learn from each person I meet. I make friends fast. I think relationships are circles like all good things in life. I think life is full of seasons, I am trying to embrace each one of them! I love to be outside in the sun and the water, and I love to have fun!

I am a certified Thai Masseuse.
I can't be beat at Tetris.
I document everything in pictures, videos, or words
I have kept a journal almost everyday sine I was 9, that was is 1997.

Nathaniel is native to Austin, Texas. He loves to juggle- he has traveled all over the world to attend the international juggling conventions and can try to teach you how to juggle 8 balls. He rode his bicycle from Austin, Texas to Panama City, Panama in 2008 (see photos in my albums), and he is the smartest guy I know, he loves to read his physics text book for fun and looks up to "Bucky" Buckminister Fuller.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My couch was open for a few years while I was in San Marcos, Texas and I loved hosting travelers from around the world. I lived in Australia for a bit and backpacked South East Asia and India, couchsurfing along the way.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

changed my life :) constantly restores my love for humanity.

Interests

I have to live near the water, a river, lake, ocean, I need it.

I love Massage Therapy.

I enjoy Acroyoga, juice fasting, riding my bicycle, studying how the body works, watching science documentaries with my husband, preparing for the birth of our first child.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My first trip to Africa, backpacking across the Kalahari Desert, when I was 15 gave me such a love and appreciation for traveling, people, and opportunity to learn from the world around us and everything in it.

visiting an Elephant Sanctuary in Thailand, where we fed, swam, bathed, and loved the elephants, was one of the happiest days of my whole life.

Spent our 3 month honeymoon on a tiny island in Guna Yala.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know how to listen and love. I know how to communicate with most anyone which usually leads to good time hanging out.

I love to share Massage Therapy and AcroYoga and Juicing Insight :)

Nathaniel is a Physics/Mathematics student and knows more about the world around him than anyone I know.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Some AcroYoga, Juicing, Photography, anything you want to know about home birth. I knew a little bit about everything, Nathaniel knows a lot about the smallest details of the world. I am sure we can come up with something interesting :D
