Hi! I love traveling and being immersed in different cultures. I used to work in international development in East Africa. Now, I'm transitioning towards becoming a psychotherapist. I enjoy going to dance performances and art museums. I love being out in nature and in smaller towns in rural areas. I especially like being near flowing water, like the ocean or rivers and lakes. I practice yoga and meditation when I am home. I love getting to know people and hearing about what matters most to them, and what their dreams are for their future and their family. I don't drink alcohol and I don't smoke. I prefer not to be around big noisy crowds.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I love to travel and meet people. I like to try to see more of what real life is like for people living in a place, rather than just doing things that only tourists do. I enjoy learning about local foods and art. Couch surfing has been a great way to meet friendly people.
Music, Movies, and Books
Favorite movies: Amelie, City of the Lost Children, Requiem for a Dream, Ma Vie en Rose
One Amazing Thing I've Done
I designed bicycle ambulances in Zambia and Madagascar to help bring people from remote areas to health centers. I hiked from the South Rim of the Grand Canyon (USA) to the bottom and up again in two days.
