I have been waitressing & wandering for the past few years but now am aiming to become a massage therapist and begin my journey into holistic health work. I hope to eventually complete my master’s in acupuncture and Chinese medicine, but we’ll see how the river flows. I spend most of my free time reading, hiking, learning to play chess, and being the coolest Aunt to my 8 nieces & nephews.
Been on a couple backpacking trips around SE Asia & Australia and spent a few months in Oaxaca, Mexico doing yoga retreats, but will now be spending more time exploring the U.S. while in school. Also a huge fan of dancing and live music.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because it’s the best way to explore a new place & meet amazing people!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Birth photography for my sister 🤍

Teach, Learn, Share

A little bit of this and a little bit of that, not an expert at anything but always happy to lend a hand and any knowledge I can. Sometimes I can bake pretty delicious noms & I dabbled in photography for a while. I try and bring my Polaroid along when traveling too.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Respect & fun, stories & help around the house. I also can potentially tame your barn cats, if that’s needed 😸
