ABOUT ME

I love creating things and am generally happiest when on a project. My main focus is lighting, & in the last couple years I've started teaching it. I also love dancing, hiking, cooking, gardening, learning, etc. I'm helper/maker.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've hosted more than I've surfed, & especially tend to offer to host last minute. My schedule is always changing so I often know best if my couch is available only a few days before.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Great! Between musical hosts & adventurous guests, I've had quite a time!

Interests

I love cooking and eating, gardening, the environment, hiking, dancing, making various kinds of art, wandering around cities, picking fruit, helping on all kinds of projects, and finding great deals. Love dogs.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Breathed fire. Practiced aerial silks. Made a life as an artist. Loved someone.

Most awestruck moments are about the awesomeness of human connection. Doesn't matter where or how, it's about connection.
