About Me

I'm pretty low-key type of fun person. The chill-at-the-coffee-shop girl, who likes to party when there's a party already happening. Grew up in The South, transplanted to NYC, got restless, backpacked through Europe, and returned to Nashville... and now I'm in San Francisco! But I'm putting down roots this time. Exploring all options...

One of the most amazing I things I've learned in my travels:
Have an idea of what you want, but be open to change. Trust yourself, even if you might be wrong...
Don't be afraid to take a leap of faith.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have yet to be able to host because of my living circumstances... but while backpacking, I was able to bunk with some pretty amazing people, who gave me a home while I was homeless...

Interests

Theatre, yoga (am a yoga teacher), running, coffee! I love to dance. Obsessed with music, consider good speakers a solid investment.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I jumped off of a 40-ft cliff into the ocean in Croatia.
Made me feel like I could rule the world.

Teach, Learn, Share

Always love teaching people yoga and theatre, whenever, wherever.

As funny as it sounds... I want to re-learn how to be happy. It's been a while.

Want to share my sense of adventure.
