I’ve led many lives, including working in hospitality and healthcare for many years. At the moment I am traveling the USA!. I am easy going and low key. I like to do my own thing, and I will let you do yours, but I’m also happy to chat and hang out.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm always out and about, whether its in my own country or other countries! I like to stay with locals instead of an impersonal hotel. I have been doing Airbnb as well and I have gotten many positive reviews on that sight as an easy guest.

Interests

I've lived in a zen monastery for two years, was an RN, and I've been a nomadic housesitter for 5 years.
My current passion is mental health. Been volunteering for a year at a suicide hotline/warmline and I am gathering ideas and info about starting a mental health website. An organization I really love is seekhealing.org . Creating revolutionary spaces in which people practice simple presence and listening. "We are the medicine."

I like art, learning new stuff, history, dogs, other animals, nature, watching TV (don't own one at home), hiking, biking, swimming, dancing in shady bars, going to churches where they sing gospel, shopping without buying stuff

Music, Movies, and Books

RuPaul's Drag Race, Downton Abbey. In literature I like "I know why the caged bird sings," "the house on sugar beach," "the unbearable lightness of being."
