I enjoy being exposed to new things and spending time outside. I like to get in touch with my inner silly kid and get into shenanigans. I love lizards and a sense of wonder than can only come from relaxing into discomfort and uncertainty.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I'm on couchsurfing to open up my life and connect with people. To let life happen to me, rather than trying to control it. I'm here to be a little more receptive and vulnerable with the world.
Music, Movies, and Books
Favorite book: Love in the time of Cholera by Gabriel Garcia Marquez Favorite movie: Yokohama Shopping Log Favorite albums: Mood Valiant by Hiatus Kaiyote, Telefone by Noname, and The Bed Is In The Ocean by Karate.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
Ditched work for a month in the aftermath of a hurricane to go do some bodywork in California. Absolutely life changing. Time to live free.
Teach, Learn, Share
Teach: I'm actually a teacher right now! But I will teach you about the impact of trauma on the nervous system and ways to access inner spaciousness through movement and art and trusting the process. Learn: I'm currently learning to slow down. Share: My honesty
What I Can Share With Hosts
I can share meals, stories, and goofy behavior :) I can also tell you some pretty bitchin' restaurants to go to if you ever come visit New Orleans!
