I grew up all over the world as the daughter of a Foreign Service Officer. I lived in Washington, DC for almost 20 years working on international health issues and then decided to move to Italy with my cat. We love it here!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am kind of shy but I love people and their stories. I have a beautiful apartment in an amazing city (a medieval, tiny hilltop city in the middle of nowhere in the middle of Italy). If you want to sleep on my couch, I will cook and give you a grand tour!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Change my life in mid-life

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to do a language exchange with a native Italian speaker. I have training as an English teacher. But the best thing really is to just talk!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can give you a grand tour of Assisi with detailed history about the religious traditions, art, and architecture. If you buy the wine, I can also cook!
