About Me

Depth Psychotherapist, working with people to live a soulful, meaningful life. I’m a recovering tour guide and have lead programs in 10 countries.

Been couch surfing since 2009. Only had the best experiences. I’ve traversed regions of the Middle East and East Africa, ran from tear gas in Cairo, participated in Zimbabwean ancestral ceremonies, and studied with a family of indigenous Shipibo healers in the Peruvian Amazon.

I’m also a writer.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

During my first solo trip through Australia in 2009, I couchsurfed all across the country.

It changed the way I look at world travel, and my life along with it.

Since then, I've Couchsurfed in Africa and South America. Proud to be a part of this community!

Music, Movies, and Books

I love African music. Cloud Atlas is one of my favorite films of all time. Too many books to count.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Burning Man,

Living in an Aboriginal community in the Australian bush,

Running from tear gas during a protest in Cairo's Tahrir Square, and

Traveling overland through Africa.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to play the didgeridoo, and I can cook some delicious food!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Gourmet food made with love. Tons of great and hard to find music (if I'm traveling with tech things.) Experience from all over the world.
