Hey there

I'm very excited to continue my journey in Costa Rica - this last December I completed a four-month intensive massage program in Sámara. Now, I'm back in Costa Rica indefinitely, looking for a place to land.

I've done a good bit of solo traveling in South America, as well as several months in Nepal, India, and Japan, and I've learned a lot from those times—like not taking things so seriously, including myself. After many different journeys, I’ve come to appreciate a life without all the conveniences and comforts of home. I've also begun to ask myself, "what's the big rush?” and "why am I so guarded with those around me?" Writing this, I feel grateful for all the unexpected adventures and the many people who have shared with me how they see the world.

A little about about me: I enjoy meeting new people, but I also like to have time on my own to read, write, and take a step back. I love playing fútbol, sculpting with clay, seeing live music, learning to cook new meals, and spending as much time as I can outside.

Teach, Learn, Share

I've played football (soccer) all my life and would be happy to kick a ball around with you, or just cook a meal together!
