About Me

I didn’t come to Antigua looking for anything.
But somehow, I ended up building everything.
A hostel that feels more like a home.
A tour company that’s really just an excuse to get people outside—and back into themselves.
And a nonprofit, funded by it all, built to support women who’ve survived more than most could carry… and children who still dream in color, even when the world turns gray.
My days are strange and beautiful.
Coffee in my swing by the garden at 6am.
Fixing broken things with one hand, guiding someone up a volcano with the other.
Cooking barefoot. Sharing fire. Laughing too loud.
Sometimes I disappear for a few days—into the forest, into silence, into ceremony.
I lead shamanic journeys, offer Reiki, and practice massage therapy—because healing should live in our bodies, not just our minds.
People come here to feel something. Sometimes they don’t even know what. But they leave lighter.
There are four dogs who’ll love you instantly.
This isn’t a curated life.
It’s a little messy. A little magic. Full of ash, music, wood smoke, and soul.
If you’re chill, relaxed, not a party animal and enjoy wine over dinner while or just a simple walk by the forest, then send me a message.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Happiness never decreases by being shared. It is in the nature of things that joy arises in a person free from remorse. Set your heart on doing good. Do it over and over again, and you will be filled with joy.
