Description
Hello, I'm Kayla :) I'm a traveler, yogi, and photographer. I love nature, learning, books, yoga, meditation, and animals.
I finished graduate school 2 years ago and have been solo traveling on and off ever since. In that time, I've done yoga teacher training in India, visited family in Oman, lived in intentional permaculture communities in Italy and Greece, frolicked in Edinburgh, worked the summer in Albania at a beachside hostel and a lakeside mountain guesthouse, learned from/assisted monks in northern Thailand, and worked at social island hostels in Thailand and Indonesia. It's been quite the adventure!
I'm on a break to make some money back in the states before I get back to exploring the world.

What else ...
I like to read, watch movies, listen to music, meditate, practice yoga, do tarot, go for walks, hike, swim, just be outside--very mundane hobbies! I have very serious passions in social justice, climate change, equity, but personally I'm very relaxed and laid back.
