Just a gal in her 20s seeking fun adventures & meaningful ~platonic~ connections as she travels the world. Let’s be friends! My favorite things in life (in no particular order) — campfires, fall leaves, rainy days, vegan croissants, learning languages, public libraries, writing, board games, conversations about psychology & philosophy (let’s get deep!), and going on adventures! Part girly girl, part nerd, part “hippie.” Passionate about human rights. The safer I feel in your presence, the more fun + goofy I will act around you 🫶💃 --- Fav quotes: “I don’t want to get to the end of my life and find that I just lived the length of it. I want to have lived the width of it as well.” –Diane Ackerman “How we spend our days, of course, is how we spend our lives.” -Annie Dillard

One Amazing Thing I've Done
First solo traveled when I was 18 and I’ve had so many adventures!!! I would say one of my most life-changing experiences was the week-long silent meditation retreat (no talking, no screens, no reading!) I did at a Buddhist monastery in Thailand 🥰 It changed my world!
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach you what I know about mindfulness/meditation/psychology, offer English practice, & share my stories... Currently on a MAJOR healing journey and I’m happy to talk about it as much or as little as you like 🤪 YOU can teach ME how to ride a motorcycle (sorry biker dudes, I was just the passenger in all my bike pics. I’ll learn if you want to teach me!)
What I Can Share With Hosts
Good stories + fun memories :) I can make you laugh))
