Creative, adventurous, deep thinking and feeling extroverted musician/poet/artist. My friends say I'm calm and grounded, yet silly and uplifting. I tend to find the fun and magic in everyday life. I tell it like it is, tactfully. Optimist.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Camped at the top of the second highest mountain in the Great Balsam Mountains. We accidentally set up the tent on top of the stakes, which we assumed we had lost. It was very windy that night so we held the tent up with our legs as it was shaking around in the storm. What a laugh we had the next morning once we discovered the stakes were underneath our tent the whole time!

Teach, Learn, Share

love to share and learn about life experiences, foreign cultures, dreams, cooking, backpacking and gardening tips, and travel recommendations. I study astrology for fun and love to chitchat about it here and there.

What I Can Share with Hosts

good conversation, good cooking, an ear to listen/unbiased advice, astrology knowledge/birth chart readings. I also sing and play guitar so I'd be happy to play some music for you!
