I am a traveler, dancer and poet. I have had a few unofficial couch surfers and would love to have more official ones to visit my beautiful city, Charleston, SC.
I am vegetarian and non smoking.
I have a friendly dog, and two adult children who live in other cities.
I dance tango, blues and swing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting fascinating people and commingling cultural experiences, and trying to solve the world's problems. I live in an old home in a gorgeous historic city. I love visual art, music of all genres and poetry. Yoga and meditation are daily activities.
I have travelled much of the world but have never couchsurfed except locally, so would like to try it.
Staying with me would give you a living room queen futon in an historic home with amazing view.
