CURRENT MISSION

Hiking the lost coast trail, loving on friends, getting a dog, learning, listening, and tasting this giant tiny world.

ABOUT ME

I'm a bit of a Goldilocks. Trying, tasting, teaching, experimenting, it's all part of the adventure. I'm a sucker for sensory delights and laughter of the eyes. I love curious and contradictory and am drawn to those who are compassionate, intrigued, intriguing, and driven to improve this word. Life is too serious to be taken seriously.

PHILOSOPHY

Don’t ask yourself what the world needs, ask yourself what makes you come alive, and then go do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive. -H.T. Whitman

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Host travelers when I can, cultural exchange in the US and during my travels, and invariably going to revisit people I meet on the road.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Had one of the best breakfasts in New Orleans during Jazz Fest with my CS hosts and their wicked homemade hot sauce. A coffee date in St. Petersburg, Russia turned into a day of chatting, church visits, and champagne in the park.
