I'm a lover of road trips, traveling and exploring the world, yoga, nature, music, and hot sauce. I take pleasure in creating pretty things, connecting with people, connecting with those I love, getting ethereal, and moving my body to music. I'm a warm and grounded person. I like to laugh and get silly. I care about injustices in the world. I work with youth as an educator and I also teach yoga. I'm not accepting guests at my home right now because I will be traveling for the next couple months.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
