About Me

I’m a heart-centered traveler, teacher, and community builder based in San Diego. I work in the realms of Tantra, personal growth, and sacred intimacy. My life is a blend of adventure, transformation, laughter, deep conversations, and soul-stirring music. I’ve lived many lives—from goth drummer to spiritual guide—and I carry the stories of each one with me. Hosting is my way of sharing warmth, insight, and a sense of belonging with fellow travelers.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Connection. I believe that the world is a better place when we share not just space, but stories, food, and presence. Couchsurfing isn't just a platform—it's a way to practice global hospitality and kindness. I love meeting people from all walks of life and offering a soft landing spot to rest, reflect, and be received as they are.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once completed a 10-day silent meditation retreat deep in the forest. I arrived restless, distracted, and full of resistance—and left in awe of the quiet power within. It changed how I listen to the world.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you about Tantra (beyond the clichés), meditation, sacred touch, emotional intelligence, and how to breathe deeper than you thought possible. I love learning about other cultures, languages, and spiritual practices. I’m always down to share rituals, music, breathwork, or a great conversation about life, love, and the universe.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A comfy space near San Diego’s heart, access to good food and better company, tips on the local Tantra and conscious community scene, and deep conversations. If you’re open to it, I often share grounding practices, guided meditations, or somatic tools for decompressing on the road. Or we can just sip tea and watch the stars.
