CURRENT MISSION

Smile, explore, laugh, learn, spread joy, and make the world a better place!

ABOUT ME

I thrive off of yoga, music, the mountains and going on adventures. I am driven to make the world a better place by teaching little people how to be embodied peacemakers through yoga, creative expression and building a relationship with the natural world.

PHILOSOPHY

My life philosophy is to eat great food, surround myself with great people, and always listen to my heart.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

At this point, I have only been a visitor on Couch Surfing, but I fully intent to host people once I get settled into a new home!

Interests

I spend most of my time doing yoga, feeling the grass between my toes, hiking, going to farmers markets, cooking and eating delicious food, playing violin, reading, doing art and loving life!
You can usually find me hanging in my hammock, painting by a river, writing in a coffee shop or meditating at the top of a mountain. I think that every single person on earth is mind-blowingly fascinating-- so I love spending time exploring other peoples stories and perspectives

Music, Movies, and Books

Music with strong beats and beautiful melodies make my soul sing. Emancipator, Polish Ambassador, Ayla Nereo, Sweatshop union, Chali 2na, Michael Franti, The Beatles, Above and Beyond, Joshua Radin, Blue Scholars, Sea Wolf, John Butler Trio, Lotus, String Cheese Incident, Trevor Hall, Classified, Tallest Man on Earth, Booka Shade, and Tycho are some of my all time favorites

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Doing yoga on rice paddies in Bali, playing folk music in sweden with musicians who were considered national treasures by the swedish government, attending countless music festivals, living in the redwoods, being on the front lines of 400,000 people marching through the streets of New York City for peoples climate march.

Pretty much every single day of my life amazes me.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know a TON about yoga, culture, philosophy and spirituality, as well as a bunch of random knowledge about science. I was a classically trained violinist for 14 years, and a competitive swimmer. I also love cooking and nourishing people around me with delicious and healthy food

Joy, yoga, meditation, food, great conversation and lots of smiles
