I'm an art curator, and I love hiking, canoeing, kayaking, camping, swimming, rollerblading, running, biking, yoga, reading, cooking, baking, going to museums and art galleries, foreign films, and fiction literature.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I love to travel, and I work for a nonprofit museum, so my budget is minimal!

"All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better." - Ralph Waldo Emerson

Singing songs on an overnight sleeper train through India, scuba diving off the Zanzibar coast, costume party on a cruise down the Nile River, biking uphill through a rainstorm in Ireland, playing cards with a taxi driver while stuck in a mudslide in Bolivia, swimming in a remote lake in the Boundary Waters after a long off-trail hike, camping in the woods, cooking a delicious meal with fresh garden ingredients for my best friends, annual family snow relays during the holidays, good book and cup of strong hot chocolate in front of a fireplace...some of my favorite memories in life so far, and hopefully, many more to share with the right person!

I'm an ENTP - we had to take the Myers-Briggs test at a past job - lol!
I'm an art curator and I currently work as Education Director & Curator of a museum - I love my job! I love connecting with people and engaging communities through visual culture. When I'm not working, I love to run, hike, rollerblade, ski, teach myself new songs on the guitar, read, draw, paint, cook, go to art museums, check out my artist friends' openings and performances, listen to music, and do yoga.
yoga, swimming, drawing, writing, baking, cartwheels
