ABOUT ME

I'm friendly, caring, easy-going, and happy. I love to be active in the great outdoors, and exploring museums of science, history, and art. I love sharing the simple things - like good restaurants, flower shops, public murals, hiking trails, and bakeries.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm thankful for the freedom to travel, and love hearing stories of other travelers! I think couch surfing strengthens community and I love to help a traveler-in-need.
