Aloha! I'm Nathan :) I am from San Francisco, California, but I now live in Honolulu, Hawaii. 🌺 I'm an emotional wellness coach and mental health counselor specializing in adult and couples therapy through the lens of shadow work. I'm a Sagittarius and a traveler at heart. I've been to 36 countries so far, and my goal is to visit 100 countries before I'm too old to climb the steps. Haha. My other goal is to make friends on every continent :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was 8, I pulled the sword from the stone at Disneyland! 😇

Teach, Learn, Share

I speak a fair amount of Mexican Spanish and a small amount of Lebanese Arabic. I have university degrees in both psychology and philosophy.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Philosophical conversation, adventure and travel stories, I'm also happy to have conversations about psychology, mental health, and emotional wellness. In other words, you can have a free therapy session if you want one 😅
