I am a travelling electrician and an artist. I love music, sci-fi and comedy. I am spontaneous and adventurous and I love a good conversation.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To find out what's going on in the area that I'll be working. ie, restaurants, coffee shops, clubs, bars, museums, places to go etc. Hopefully to make new friends while I'm visiting.

Interests

My favorite things to do include physical activity, (mostly walking, running, climbing, dancing, yoga; nothing too intense), listening to music, drawing (especially figure drawing), painting, occasional sculpting, fixing things, especially electrical problems, meeting new people/making conversation, traveling, and watching comedy and sci-fi.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Made the most out of an unplanned trip to Wisconsin. I got to work on ships, go figure drawing once a week, see bands play (including Reverend Horton Heat), find out about the local music scene, go sailing on Green Bay, sight see along the coasts of Door County (on the peninsula between Green Bay and Lake Michigan) and swim in Sturgeon Bay every Weds. on Wing Night. And of course, I discovered the wonders of fried cheese curds. The most amazing thing that happened was that I sat down to eat breakfast in a small cafe and started talking to another woman about visiting Sturgeon Bay. She wanted me to move there because I'm an artist. When I got up to pay my bill, she had already paid it.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm here to have a good time, meet new people and relax a little. I'm always interested in talking about art, music or philosophy.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My charming personality and any kind of snack food/beverage stuffs that might be needed. I can sing babies to sleep or do my Janis Joplin Cover.
