Member since 2011
I'm very outgoing and friendly, and love meeting new people. My passions are for traveling and exploring culture, jamming to amazing music, deep conversations, spontaneous adventure, acro yoga, being a source of support and positive energy, and activities that fill me with adrenaline. I've attended Burning Man 8 times, and many other festivals. I've spent six months in India exploring consciousness through deep meditation and yoga practices alongside daily introspective journaling. Spent four and a half months in Thailand, India, Bali, and Laos searching for crafters, designers, and manufacturers to start a festival fashion line. A couple weeks in Peru for an aya healing ceremony + various Sacred Valley ruins.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I am looking for great people to stay with, to share stories, skills, and potentially adventure with as well. Couchsurfing always leads me to more connected experiences and deeper bonds than staying at hostels or hotels. I love sharing spaces! Currently living in a 9-bedroom house in San Francisco, as being part of a community is very important to me, and I love to travel with a community vibe as well.
