About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To learn the safety dance

ABOUT ME

Hi! Hard to say who I am in a nutshell but currently I am working for an awesome company in California that sends me all over the state leading outdoor trips with a bunch of amazing kids. So fun and challenging and gives me a lot of freedom to travel and explore. Every day is an adventure!

PHILOSOPHY

Be kind and take nothing for granted.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Well for the first time in 8 years I am living like a big kid with my own apartment and can finally host surfers. Yea! I am excited to give back some of the kindness and hospitality that folks have given me over the years...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have slept on many a friend's couch :)

Interests

Learning, crocheting, cooking, drinking wine with old and new friends, reading, playing the guitar, swimming in the ocean, being awestruck by the beauty in the world, eating avocados, laughing, crossword puzzles, and being scandalous to name a few.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love to read! I come from a family of librarians so it is in the blood. Right now I am mostly into non-fiction. As far as movies go I like the old classics, musicals, silly comedies ala anchorman, and sci-fi. I don't like horror movies or tear jerkers too much. Music makes the world go round and I like it all!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of the trips that I do is on the Colorado River and the last day we wake the kids up at 3:30 in the morning to float down to our take out site. We tie all of our canoes together and see the stars and watch the sun come up. So peaceful. I have also swam with dolphins in the middle of the ocean a few times which was the ultimate reminder of my own insignificance in the grand scheme of things. They are so beautiful!

Teach, Learn, Share

I have taught a lot of people to crochet and would love to teach more!
