About Me

Current Mission
: Arles to Santiago De Compostela

ABOUT ME

I'm a meditation and mindfulness teacher from the Memphis, TN. I develop mindfulness programs for schools and human care providers (e.g. humanitarian aid workers) as well as teach in Dharma /Yoga centers internationally.

I love to travel. In 2014, I walked the Camino Santiago and it changed my life. I've lived all over the world- Greece, Thailand, Southern Africa. Traveled to 6/7 continents. The thing I learned from travel was how unique we all are and how beautiful it is that our inner worlds can be so distinct while we all share the same goals.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm a traveler and love to make family when I enter a new country.
