About Me

{New to Couchsurfing - pre-forgive any mistakes}

I am a Midwestern girl with an International spirit. An athlete by training but a yogi by heart. A strategic thinker but an adventuring spirit.

I have a zest for learning more about this thing called life! I am very passionate about living my purpose and supporting others in doing the same.

After graduating from the University of Minnesota, I went on an International adventure of teaching English in Japan, Brasil and Argentina for 4 years. After deciding I might want to return to the USA, I was hired by Google to work on the International Team in NYC. Four jobs after Google, a Masters at Columbia, starting my own company and a whole lot of living brought me to the world of wellness and meditation. I am an aquacycling, water meditation, and corporate meditation teacher in NYC. I am traveling to SF to explore a new city and see if it just might be my new home. Bringing one bag and a heart full of hope.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am taking a break from NYC living to explore the SF and Bay area. I am looking to get to know the people, culture, and feel of the city and see if it is for me. I love adventuring into the unknown and trusting that I will meet the people I need to and stay in warm and inviting homes. In NYC I always loved when friends or friends of friends were visiting that I could open my home to. I know that others feel the same way. Thank you in advance for inviting me into your home, whether it be a day or a week.

Interests

Moving my body, yoga, fitness, meditation, eating avocados in any form, trying new things, entrepreneurship, being a part of women circles/groups, walking, talking about life under trees, anything to do with water.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once traveled with a Maasai warrior for a week in Tanzania and had some of the most interesting talks about life while being inches away from lions.
