Travelling
Description

Hello! I am a 35 year old traveler on a journey of self exploration and discovery. I decided to travel two years ago after my job ended, and had a number of wonderful experiences in the US and Mexico. I built a bed in the back of my car, and spent months WWOOFing, helping with blackberry and olive harvests, working at an an eco-conscious hotel in Oaxaca, Mexico, meditating at a Zen monastery, and getting my 200 hour yoga teacher certification.

Now in 2026, I am hoping to travel farther afield, to experience more of the world & cultures outside of the US!

I have a deep love of nature, and also a fervent interest in spirituality and self development. I value meditation, yoga, art & creativity of all types, singing with other people, meaningful and wide-ranging conversations, deep connections, and constantly learning new things.

I am so grateful to have gotten to spend 2 weeks with Majda and John in the dramatic and stunning hills of Haloze. Majda’s hospitality and generosity were beyond incredible—her amazing traditional Slovenian cooking, getting to visit her neighbors and friends with her, attending dance and tai chi, going to the forest to harvest wild blueberries and … read more
