Hello! I live in Asheville, NC and moved here to start a meditation center with a buddhist monk. You can read more about what we are doing here: https://www.mittameditation.com/ . My "day" job is an antique dealer where I travel around looking for items of rarity and beauty.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on couch-surfing as I love to meet new people and make friends:) I use to have artist friends stay at my apartment in NYC and enjoyed our conversations and friendship!

Interests

I am mostly focused on developing the Kalyana-Mitta Meditation center in Asheville. Currently we offer meditation classes for free twice a day in downtown Asheville:)
I am also a yoga teacher and vegan chef:)

Music, Movies, and Books

I am mostly meditating now but when reading books or documentaries it may be non fiction or something about aliens :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Wrote a 80,000 word book and then decided to trash it:) Felt it was therapeutic but not needed to be published.

I can teach you about antiques, jewelry design, and art.
Happy to also share my meditation and metaphysical experiences.
