Overview
About Me
I'm 32 years old, and Durango, CO USA is my home where I am a somatic trauma therapist and social worker with the unhoused…aaaand I love to dance, hike backpack, play, yoga/meditate, explore, connect with plant medicine, connect with genuine humans, go to concerts and I am also deepening my spiritual path. So, I’m traveling Ireland and Scotland June-August learning more about Celtic spirituality, resistance and solidarity work, and finding healing for myself as I’m in a rich period of self growth.
I’m looking to connect with people who want to share in esoteric conversations and find the balance in the wild unknown and the simple importance of play, laugh and exploration. Let’s go hiking, see music or go to a dance or breathwork workshop or anything else in between. I hope to learn of your culture and what’s important to you.
I believe that key parts to life are nature, gratitude, positivity, compassion, and balance. I try to embody an optimistic spirit everyday and immerse myself among people who also see the importance of caring for our communities and environment but never stray away from a good time.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I couchsurfed a lot 10 years ago when I lived in Spain and connected with amazing folks across Geneva, Italian, Portugal and Spain and I’m excited to dive back into the community now! I am appreciative of anyone’s hospitality in welcoming me to either camp on your land or stay in your abode (or come backpacking/camping with me!). I have all my own gear, so being able to camp will help me save $$ on my travels too.
Also, when I travel, I prefer not to just see but to experience. I want to learn more about a place and people than simply the normal tourist scene. I want to know what it's like to live there.
