West Coast gal who loves the outdoors in moderation. I like bright colors, puns, and quoting the obscure Jurassic Park references.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

1) Meet new people! Fellow travelers and destination locals. (I like to travel solo, but I also like to have company while I'm exploring)

2) Expand my options for traveling (yes, that's partly about $$ and partly about access to locations)

I am NOT on couchsurfing to just find a place to crash, I'd really like to get to know my hosts and even make long-term friends. Come see me when you make it to Seattle! I am also NOT on couchsurfing for hook-ups or sex of any kind. Please don't message me if that is your goal.

HOSTING NOTE: I am not able to host surfers at this time. But please connect if you will be in Seattle or we will be traveling to the same location at the same time. I would love to show you my hometown or explore a new city with new friends!

Intereses

What I like: travel, planning travel, dreaming about travel. Live theatre and improv, laughter yoga, talking about US employment law (kinda kidding), fantasy football (American football), overcoming every last anxiety I have about heights, celebrating obscure holidays, photography, discussing personality types, singing (I'm in a choir), meditation, cheap wine.

When I travel, I like to combine a mix of the big touristy spots (museums, monuments, theme parks) with little hole-in-the-wall cafes and restaurants. I want to see the big attractions AND get a sense of the day-to-day lifestyle of the area.

Música, películas y libros

Movies: Jurassic Park, Strictly Ballroom, any Christmas movies (especially Elf and It's a Wonderful Life).

TV: I've watched the following series through multiple times... anything by Joss Whedon (Buffy, Firefly, etc), Star Trek: TNG, 30 Rock, Parks and Recreation, Archer, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

Books: Paperback mysteries. I'm totally fascinated by the hobby genre ones, like "Coffee House" or "Haunted Vintage Clothing" series. There's even a mystery series about Amish crafts, haven't read it yet, but I love how oddly specific these things are getting.

Algo increíble que he hecho

Rappelled off a sky scraper in a super hero costume - Elastigirl (Mrs. Incredible), who else? And raised a bunch of money for a local charity.

Enseña, aprende, comparte

I'm a Certified Laughter Yoga Leader, so we could "laugh for no reason" together. I am also trying to learn Spanish and Portuguese. I would like more chances to practice. And I would be happy to practice English with you if you are learning.

Qué puedo ofrecer a los anfitriones

I can bring a treat from America or my last destination for you to try. Let me know if there is something you are curious about.

I will do my best to try to explain Donald Trump and American politics in general, if you are curious. Some of it is too crazy for even me to understand!
