I love meeting new people and experiencing new things! I am not much of a party person... has never really been my thing. I do love cooking, gardening, dance, history, listening, creating or making new things, art, classical music and acoustic chill music. I like being active! I used to teach fitness classes. I love yoga, hiking, biking and kayaking.

I have been to Europe only one other time before while I was studying abroad and it changed my life! I have been to Iceland, Estonia (got a picture with the new Prime Minister when I was there haha), Latvia, Sweden and Finland.

I try to make it a point to travel at least once every 6 months even if it's within the country.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to meet new people and experience different perspectives.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I think I am still working on this... But I used to own my own fitness business and I was a cement engineer (I worked in a mine)!

Teach, Learn, Share

I taught fitness classes! All sorts of dance.

What I Can Share with Hosts

conversation and experiences. How to dance :)

I am pretty great at picking out wine and determining characteristics. I used to work in fine dining and learned a great deal about wine. More specifically Italian wines.

Countries I’ve Visited

Estonia, Finland, Iceland, Latvia, Sweden
