About Me

Inspiring, playful, and occasionally sardonic.
I’m a yoga teacher and coach who loves helping people feel more alive in their bodies and more at ease in their lives. I care deeply about connection — with people, nature, and purpose. I’m curious about how we can live, learn, and thrive together (and have fun doing it).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet interesting people, share stories, and experience places through the eyes of those who live there. I love that Couchsurfing isn’t just about finding a place to stay — it’s about building real human connections.

Interests

I teach yoga and lead workshops that help people reduce stress, reconnect with themselves, and rediscover joy. I’m also endlessly fascinated by human behavior, leadership, and wellness. I love anything that blends the practical with the soulful.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Depends on the mood — from soulful indie folk to old-school hip hop to anything I can dance or cook to.
Movies: Anything with heart, wit, or depth.
Books: Usually a stack of nonfiction I’m halfway through.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Guided a room full of high-performing tech leaders from total overwhelm to quiet presence in less than ten minutes. Watching the energy shift — from stress to stillness — never stops feeling amazing.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: Yoga, mindfulness, wellness, and how to listen to your body’s wisdom.
Learn: Local culture, traditions, and recipes.
Share: Stories, laughter, and probably some homemade tea or a grounding breath or two.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good energy, thoughtful conversation, a calm presence, and probably a quick yoga or stretch session if you’d like. I’m neat, considerate, and always grateful to connect.
