I live in Asheville, NC and work for an immigrant-serving non-profit, with a budding face painting business on the side! I love to dance (contact improv, ecstatic dance, contra, Latin) and play music (banjo and singing). I also love to connect with the natural world through climbing, canoeing, and camping.

My partner Trinlay and I are traveling together. We are open-minded people who love the new, weird, and sometimes transcendent experiences that come with traveling. Meditation is important to both of us, and we love festivals, live music, and dance!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Connecting and sharing with other open-hearted humans. I am continually blown away by the generosity of people who have opened their homes to me on my travels in Europe, South America, and the U.S. Traveling in this way is a reminder of humanity’s inherent goodness.
