Hi, all. I am very recently out of a long term relationship and trying to rediscover who I am alone. I am spending a lot of time reading and on self improvement. I am trying to get myself back to the person who thought deeply and knew how to slow her mind down enough to write. I live in FL, about 45 minutes from St. Augustine Beach. I am a ridiculous Chicago Cubs fan. #9 El Mago. I like people who listen and care about the world we're going to leave behind.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Honestly? I do seasonal work and this is the off season. I have time but not a lot of money. This morning I discovered that I have a lot of points for Amtrak travel. I love the train. I love traveling. I love meeting people and sharing a meal with them. I enjoy a good local band.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was sad for a long time but I'm not anymore.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know some card games. I was a bartender once upon a time. I make good coffee. I like to be silly.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A beer, a good sense of humor, a baseball game, an adventure, an open mind, the ability to go with the flow
