About Me

CURRENT MISSION

*I am currently traveling in Australia, New Zealand, Bali, Japan!

Meditate, simplify, be with the present moment

ABOUT ME

I am from Chicago, lived in Albuquerque, traveled for almost 2 years, moved to Denver, and now I'm heading back to traveling!

I love food, acting silly, and learning about people and different cultures.

I always seek the good in people. I believe everyone has something about them that can inspire and that I can learn from.

PHILOSOPHY

Laugh hard, laugh often, and surround yourself with people who make you laugh. Other experiences are important, but sharing a laugh with someone (or yourself) is the best!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have hosted and surfed a bit, and been to a couple pillow fights and crashes....

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have met so many interesting people through CS. I love hosting, and seeing a city with travelers. I am amazed at people's wide range of experiences and ideas. Its nice to meet open people who are eager to share their culture, way of living, insight, etc, and that has been such a gift to my life.

Interests

I am always learning and enjoy most things...such as cooking and eating, games, hiking, nature, languages, music, playing soccer and other sports, creating, dancing, spirituality, Tibbetan Buddhism.

I feel more comfortable one on one or in small groups...seem to get further into the nitty gritty

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

THIS

Teach, Learn, Share

I used to teach Zumba and have taken a lot of dance classes. I can definitely share some moves

I would love to learn more about plants, permaculture, natural remedies
