Looking for a new adventure! After living in San Francisco for 7.5 years, working hard, and exploring life inwardly and locally, I resigned from my job and decided to travel the world. I'm starting out in October 2015 with a trip to Japan, making my way through Southeast Asia, India, and who knows where else. I'm looking forward to exploring new cultures and meeting new people. I'll likely be spending my time exploring new places, eating delicious food, meeting new people, and practicing yoga, handstands, and meditation. I'm also very interested in studying natural healing methods, including various modalities of massage, and exploring new frontiers of human potential.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm traveling mostly on my own so I see Couchsurfing as a great way to meet people along the way and experiencing new countries from the perspective of locals.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've had quite a few experiences in life that I'd count as amazing. Sky diving, bungee jumping, living in NYC for 3 years, living in SF for 7.5 years, immersing myself in silence for a 10 day meditation retreat, hiking half-dome in Yosemite.

Teach, Learn, Share

I enjoy learning new languages and can help you practice English. I'm a decent cook, and would love to learn some of your local dishes. I'm a licensed massage therapist and can teach or trade with other therapists. I practice meditation regularly and can teach you a bit of what I've learned.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Yoga, handstand, or meditation practice. Accounting advice. Meal preparation. A running partner. Friendship. Fun conversation. Quiet time. Hiking buddy.
