I am American but living in Crete, Greece the last 8 years. I work with natural dyes and am a textile artist and explorer of traditional textile traditions. I love traditional music and customs and where ever I travel, I seek to share and exchange these customs.

I am vegetarian and love to cook.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I used couchsurfing a lot when i was first traveling in my early 20's. It's been a while.. but even though I cannot always host, I hope to meet some new people around the world interested in learning about Crete and it's culture.

Interests

Hiking, food, textiles, traditional music, chocolate, yoga, camping, mountains, tea, books, plants, swimming.

Teach, Learn, Share

I try to enjoy my life. Time is irreversible. I am constantly being influenced and fueled by individuals and experiences around me and try to keep optimistic people in my life. Also it's important for me to share my world and learn of others, but at the same time never forgetting who I am what my goals are.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Customs and traditions of Crete, such as music and language. I love to cook and play music.
