À propos de moi

CURRENT MISSION

To know each continent, both its land and its people

ABOUT ME

My heart is in my hometown of Cincinnati, but my future is in this beautiful, thriving city of Seattle, and I cannot get enough of it! I'm a sentimental sort who loves sharing travel experiences, so many of which I owe to couchsurfing. Left Cincinnati in 2008, where I was living internationally, in a virtual sense, by working with refugees and residing in Cincinnati's one and only "international house". Spent much of the past few years volunteering and backpacking abroad. Am currently living in Queen Anne (really, it's called Queen Anne), a burough of Seattle in which I can see Lake Union from my window, the skyline from my front yard, and Mt Rainier from the window at work. I think I might stay awhile.

PHILOSOPHY

To live and love passionately and peacefully, both in spirit and in deed.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Surfing, possibly meet up or host in Seattle. If it were up to me, I'd never travel any other way (other than camping!). Couchsurfing is the most authentic form of travel!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I don't just love couchsurfing. I prosyletize for it.

My claim to fame is that I was (Faux) married and my wedding party consisted of fellow couchsufers! Attended several meet-ups in Cincinnati. Hosted in Cincinnati. Toured North Carolina, Toronto, Portland, Madrid, and coastal Washington via couch surfing.

Centres d'intérêt

I spend a lot of time in front of the computer at work, so I have an excess of energy for my off time...usually expend it teaching fitness classes, cycling, exploring the urban and outdoor adventures of Seattle. I enjoy learning about religion, culture, health and psychology-related topics...this list could get exhaustive! I have a BIGHUGECRAZY family and keeping up with them is an adventure in itself! All in all, I like creative, adventurous types who are secretly grounded and sensible underneath it all.

Morceaux de musique, films et livres

Mostly read nonfiction but occasionally escape to some fiction. NYTimes is a favorite source of news. I can devour just about any magazine in five minutes.

As for music, sometimes it makes me dance, sometimes it makes me cry. What would life be without it?

I am a huge fan of the Seattle International Film Festival, but other than that, I get my film and TV fix through Netflix & Hulu.

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

Overseas: getting engaged in Tuscany was the most memorable, but the most amazing was probably the day that I presented Mama Mjomba, the third female mayor of Kenya, with her completed biography. Domestic: Working with refugees with the most remarkable backgrounds was an incredible experience.

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

I have exceptional knowledge of fitness, basic Yoga, Spanish, and the refugee system.

Because I am a beginning Yogi I am interested in learning more about that. Also, tips for worldwide budget travel are always of interest. Also love collecting recipes from friends.
