Love and human connection are the most important forces in my life but outside of that I have no singular passion and thus try to live a vibrant life full of growth and adventure waiting for the universe to give me a hint on which way to turn next. I love to explore the natural world, especially the mountains and read all manner of books.

I want to play volleyball, drink beer, eat food, cook food, do yoga, do acroyoga, hike, run, jump, move my body, dance, connect, read, write, be still, BREATHE:)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because sharing improves the lives of all and where one sleeps profoundly affects the tone of traveling in a new place.
