I love travel and learning and trying new things. In 2016, my husband and I took a nine month trip around the world which was one of the most incredible experiences of my life. I would do it again in a heartbeat.

I'm an early childhood teacher and vegan so vegetarians/vegans should feel especially welcome in our home and for anyone else there's absolutely no judgment. We're welcoming to all.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

After hosting awhile, I've been recommending Couchsurfing nonstop. It is way more than a place to stay. It is a way of life that is still honest, good, and full of joy and curiosity about the world. Those are the people we are and we love meeting people from around the world.

兴趣

音乐、电影和书籍

Right now I am reading a lot of Pema Chodron and books about mindfulness and stoicism. Harry Potter is a reliable favorite. I don't see a lot of movies, but I like to curl up after work with a TV show on Netflix or Hulu.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Lived in New York City for five years. Traveling solo in Ecuador and Colombia.
Learning to scuba dive despite a deep water phobia. Playing with three sea lions while snorkeling. Swimming out to an island to watch hundreds of flying foxes soar into the sunset.

教，学，和分享

I can teach you vegan cooking, yoga, meditation and Buddhism, hair-braiding, and planning a trip to New York. I enjoy deep discussions about philosophy, life, happiness, and society.
