Hi all! I really look forward to hosting and having new friends. As an FYI -there are times when my I am very busy with work and can only provide advice on places and a couch to sleep on. But otherwise I’m happy to chat and grab a drink. I have a very friendly and kind dog named Teresa - she is a treeing walker coonhound.

I work in health policy research so I am always happy to talk about health policy issues, politics, health care costs, and the affordable care act. I’m also happy to talk about anything but that-like cartoons, paintings, movies, books, exercise routines etc.

Friends would say that I am extremely amiable, polite, active, and positive . I take my time to do things and often make decisions on a whim to wander and meet strangers.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meet new friends and get different perspectives on life and practice my spanish !

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Vipassana meditation retreat in Thailand. I thought I would come out of it more enlightened and a better person. Instead I nearly lost my mind :) and found myself more vulnerable and estranged to my surroundings.
