CURRENT MISSION

I love to improvise, learn and create, whether on the dance floor, deep in conversation, jamming with friends or unraveling a crazy hard climbing route (they're all hard for me :). But I'd rather be playing beach 2's in the sun...

ABOUT ME

I'm back to adventure with a love of life and travel.

PHILOSOPHY

One thing I love about the swing dance scene is how three generations meet. I naturally have friends of all ages and even spent one year with people from under 10 to over 80 just for that experience. School makes us think only of age-mates, and there is so much to share both ways.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

New to couches, but already glad for the chance to meet new folks. Had great experiences hosting couchsurfers!

Interests

I love swing and blues dance, playing 'cello and drums and keyboards, hiking and volleyball and rock-climbing, and great conversations & gourmet vegetarian cuisine...

Music, Movies, and Books

I love swing music, early blues, folk ballads, and symphonic music. I read historical fiction, and like to learn languages by reading. I rarely sit down for a movie and have no television...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

2's at Montara Beach and Grand Bend, BluesQuake in the Mission district, 6 friends nominated for national music awards last year, running a soup kitchen on the lower east side in Manhattan, Arunachala in South India, beach combing on the south shore of Nova Scotia, learning the gatam, cut a first CD...

Teach, Learn, Share

I've found that everyone has a story to tell, and like my father, I love listening.
