ABOUT ME

I am a feminist, activist, a gemini, a vegetarian, a barista, an artist, a poet, a yoga-enthusiast, an environmentalist, a lover of exercise and DANCING!, college grad...

I love people. I want to live a life of service. I love art and how healing art can be. I am a yoga instructor and love helping other people find peace. In short, I want to spread love and community :)

I'm moving to New York City in the fall to pursue a career in acting and art! :D

PHILOSOPHY

Love is all you need.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Right now, I am currently in transit - and have no couch :( - so I'm temporarily just a couch-surfer. But hopefully once I settle in somewhere, I can greater contribute and build a greater network of awesome travelers, soul-searchers, and friends.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Lollapalooza - Chicago, IL - August 2010 -- AWESOME; Zurich, CH - Street Parade - also awesome!!
