Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Living in community with one another is an awesome thing :-)

Interests

I find joy in trying anything new, even if it's not ideal. I'm an enthusiastic boxer, stand-up paddle boarder, and hiker! I love to walk about it new cities. I enjoy reading. I love to travel and experience new cultures, and am an active volunteer in my community - I combine these two loves by volunteering with a refugee resettlement group based in Indianapolis. I also love music of all kinds and am a regular symphony-goer. I'm an adventurous eater and love to try new food! I also love to take care of my indoor plants.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Roo Panes, Gregory Alan Isakov, Lana Del Rey, Lord Huron, Milky Chance, and Radical Face just to name a few. I love many genres from Classical to Reggae.

Movies: Too many to name but I love period films, classic movies, and movies with great heroes like Gladiator and Braveheart. I love Disney films like Sleeping Beauty and Pocahontas. I have to admit that one of my guilty pleasures is Nacho Libre - I can say just about every line.

Books: I love historical fiction, especially if there is an archeological twist. Susanna Kearsley is my favorite author.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I lived in China to teach English as a Second Language for a year.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to have good conversations and share about life experiences. If you want to learn the basics of crochet, it's a great pass time :-)
