Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I was born in Washington D.C., but have lived all over the place, including,Arizona, New Mexico, Texas,Oregon, Georgia, Washington, Alaska and Virginia. I practice and teach Aikdio as a DNBK instructor. Still have a lot to learn and I am very grateful for all the people I have met and know through training.
I love to take pictures and if you know me you have seen me with a camera. Being a photographer turned a once terribly shy person into someone who has no fear of social interaction.

I want to continue to expand myself and meet other people and to help others when I can.
