I suppose, like most, I am the sum of my parts. Professionally I am part epidemiologist, part medical anthropologist, and all researcher. I am an escape artist. An adventure enthusiast always on the verge of a new quest. I am insatiably curious to meet new people and learn directly from their lived experience. I am excited to be a part of the couch surfing community, meeting likeminded and like hearted people while on the move.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am an avid traveler and the more authentic a travel experience, the better. I love interacting with new people and am always on a quest to find other likeminded people who crave adventure and connection.

Interests

Well, traveling is my number one hobby. I love dancing and expressive movement. I am always interested in the expansion of mind and heart through conversation and experience. I am a bit of a science nerd, yet I have an ongoing love affair with words and sometimes they spill out on paper as poetry.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love good lyrics and I love good beats - the two do not always go together. I am an avid reader. Historical fiction is my favorite.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'm a true blue treasure hunter.

Teach, Learn, Share

Yes, Yes, Yes!!! I love learning and sharing. As for teaching? I suppose I can teach belly dancing and/or give insider-off-the-beaten-path tips for many places in the world that you may like to visit. I also know my way around the kitchen, so I'm happy to whip up a meal from bits and pieces lying around if it suits your fancy.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A zest for life and a good attitude.
