ABOUT ME

Traveling is one of my favorite things to do, as is making new friends. (So yeah, being on Couchsurfers just makes good sense!) I'm an energetic person, passionate about seeing new places, eating new foods and trying new things!

PHILOSOPHY

Love God, love other people, and love yourself.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can't host, but I'd love to meet fellow travelers passing through Sarasota.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

While living/teaching two years in Japan, I hosted several different Couchsurfers in my apartment, and they were all good experiences. Plus, I used CS as a surfer while traveling in France. It was a great way to meet some great, English-speaking friends. :)

Interests

Ah, I have so many interests! In short, I love to live. I especially enjoy hiking, eating, reading, volunteering, learning, cooking, scrapbooking, dancing, singing, and the list could go on...

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: anything action, romance
Books: same! One of my favorite books is Anne of Green Gables
Music: Anything that has a good beat and good lyrics...and I especially love music that I can dance to!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
