For the last three years I've lived nomadically, letting the landscape and people I meet teach me about myself. I'm a full time travel writer and blogger, a certified yoga teacher, and a trained reiki practitioner. My passions include exploration, being in nature, dancing, connecting with others, writing my stories, and practicing yoga.

My travel style is super independent. I'm a very social person, I love meeting new people, but I also love my freedom. I enjoy spending time with other travelers who are also super independent. In addition to enjoying my independence, I'm a travel writer, so alone time is essential for me in getting my work done.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on couch surfing to connect with other like minded individuals and to learn about new places through the eyes of people who know them best.

I'm not on couch surfing to hook up. There will be no sharing of a bed even if it's "not sexual." I'm not a prude, I just don't like to sleep in beds with strangers. I'm also not on couch surfing because I'm lonely and want someone to be my 24 hour tour guide. Please don't do that, because it makes me feel trapped.
