CURRENT MISSION

Moving to Seattle for a new job. I will be accepting surfers soon once I have my new place set up!

ABOUT ME

I grew up on the beach in Florida and moved to Hawaii to finish school. I lived there for many years and taught science. Afterward, I lived in Europe, Boston, Asheville, and am now headed to Seattle. The travel bug has always been with me and I left college to travel in Central America at 21 and have been going ever since. Meeting kind open people has helped me tremendously in my personal evolution. I work toward being humble, compassionate, positive, and relaxed. Honesty is important and of course humor :) I love surfing! Also hiking, photography and in general being outside.

PHILOSOPHY

Everyone you meet has something to teach you.

Be thankful

It's the little things in life

Do everything with passion

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I lived in Mexico and saw the monarch butterflies in their last resting place, after their migration from Canada, saw the "green flash" twice in Hawai'i!

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to cook and learn new recipes although I'm mostly vegetarian (seafood, organic turkey). Being outside and not far from the ocean for too long is necessary for me. Yoga is an amazing way to center and I like sharing my practice with others. Aloha!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can offer to cook a fabulous vegetarian dinner and some interesting conversation!
