I have a passion for learning and growing as a person. Sometimes that means learning a new hobby, like juggling or origami, other times it means I check out a ton of books from the library and push my limits of understanding.

Living in Tucson my whole like has been a great experience, but I am ready for more. I continually found things about my city I loved, and when I felt the need to move on, would just explore new places right here.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love finding a connection with people and want to do that even more. There are conferences I would like to attend, meetups to attend, and interesting characters I would love to sit down and chat with.

Music, Movies, and Books

Cloud Atlas is one of my favorite movies lately. Classic Anime like Howls Moving Castle are great also.

Books are too numerous to count! Antifragile, Never Eat Alone, Seven Habits of Highly Effective People.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I tried out to speak at our local TedX event. Although everyone said my talk was good, it was not chosen for the TedX event.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love teaching Sign Language, Origami, and Juggling to new friends and old. Crochet is also in my repertoire, but not knitting quite yet.

What I Can Share with Hosts

With my 14 years of coffee shop experience, I enjoy making a connection with other people, and tend to do it without much effort. I am laid back, but down for adventure. I love helping out, be it dishes, yard work, or fixing something around the house.
