Hello! I am trying couchsurfing for the first time. I have always wanted to understand the world, who I am, who we are, and what are trying to do together. After ten years working with a wonderful non-profit in Houston, Texas, I wanted to travel and experience life outside of that role. I want to see as much of the globe as I can - to feel the textures of the Earth and experience the many flavors of humanity. After a couple months in the Amazon, I am headed across the Atlantic to go from Europe to India. I want to grow in wisdom and love and find new ways to apply myself and contribute to the lives of those around me.

During the pandemic, 3.5 years ago I left my apartment to road-trip around the US, staying with friends, family, and people I met on the way, so I am accustomed to making home and fitting in wherever I am. I love meeting people and hearing their stories, creating music together, asking existential questions, any kind of adventure, hiking, diving, sports. Whatever you’re into, chances are I can get into it. I look forward to meeting you!
