CURRENT MISSION

Learn as much as I can about the world.

ABOUT ME

I am a open minded, friendly and an adventurous individual. I love learning about other cultures, languages, religions and ways of life. I believe in the University of life and have been traveling and studying constantly, living in over 35 countries, volunteering and doing my best to give back.

I like to cook, am a musician traveling with my violin and am all for improvised jam sessions! I am big into snowboarding, mountaineering, climbing, trekking, diving, learning to surf and spending as much time as possible outdoors. I am interested in learning from Indigenous cultures and becoming an ally, as most of my work has been aligned with creating more diversity, inclusion and helping others access the resources they need. My current pursuits are studying yoga, pranayama/breathwork, massage, sound healing, wilderness therapy and social work.

PHILOSOPHY

I would like to experience something new each day, live in gratitude and serve others on their path of healing and growth.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have couch surfed in the USA and UK, and have not yet had the opportunity to host other couch surfers as I have been traveling. I have met with many however, to show them my local mountain, places to explore and adventure in grand Teton National Park.
