I am a passionate, positive person, very involved in my communities. I am a social introvert who loves to Adventure.
I have a strong sense of place in the Pacific Northwest, and seek to cultivate a resonance with other places as well.

"Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts." - Rachel Carson

PHILOSOPHY

Show up. Being present is powerful. Pay attention.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I'm interested in making connections with kind people in places I've yet to explore. When visiting a new place, I find that the experience is more memorable with an interaction and perspectives from someone who lives there.

Through being a gracious guest and a welcoming host (when able to host), I get the opportunity to learn more about how others live.

教，学，和分享

Do you have something to share that you're passionate about?
I can cook delicious meals, share travel info and inspiration about Seattle (where I'm from) or anywhere else I've traveled, banter about life with authenticity and whimsy.
