About Me

I travel a lot for a living!
I'm a festival builder, and also a language teacher.

I'm also an emerging water therapist. I am still learning two practices: Watsu and Healing Dance.

Music is my passion. I'm a singer-songwriter, musician, and emerging producer.
Culture and the arts are also a favorite of mine. I follow indigenous and social justice news and issues, as well.

The great outdoors is my first home! I'm always up for some camping, a swim, a trail-run or a multi-day hiking or canoeing expedition.

I'm a very curious individual, and am eager to discover places and people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
