CURRENT MISSION

Soak up information, experience, and most importantly fun!

ABOUT ME

Some of the best conversations I've had, with family, friends, and strangers, have been over a dinner table usually after all the plates are empty and the wine glasses full. I love waking up in the morning and seeing evidences of a party.

It is important to me to feel balanced, to give as much as I receive. I try to apply this to as many aspects of life as I can think of.

I couldn't have written a better life for myself and I am so grateful for every gift and lesson.

PHILOSOPHY

I strive to be healthy (physically, emotionally, spiritually), help others be healthy, and help make/keep the natural environment healthy. I believe if I take care of myself then I am better equipped to have a positive impact on the world around me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

If I'm hosting I want to show you the best of whatever amazing city I happen to be living in. If I'm surfing I want a little window to your incredible life.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

It feels so good to go to a city you've never been to and feel like you have a friend who is willing to open their home and show you around. I've hosted and surfed and enjoy both thoroughly.

Interests

I am interested in massage therapy, good food, making/teaching art (printmaking), writing, being outside, reading literature, learning, understanding.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music! Good DJ's are the best. It's so fun to dance to good house music. I also love intimate settings with live bands. Like walking into a jazzy blues club on Bourbon St. Billie Holiday is great for cooking. I also love a good vinyl record night where we all take turns picking records.

I love Jane Austin (I read Pride and Prejudice several times a year), then there are a few pages in Mrs. Dalloway (Virginia Woolfe) that whisk me up and blow me away. I will read them to anyone who will let me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The invisible spot at Sol Duc Hot Springs. You can only find it if someone who knows where it is takes you there and it is a beautiful paradise.

Teach, Learn, Share

I teach art, printmaking (which is carving into wood then stamping it on paper or fabric or any surface really). I can give you some pointers on how to draw. I love to learn.
