Creative, active, driven. Sunshine, friends, family. Writing, singing, living, loving. Jeep rides to top secret spots. Spicy food. Sci fi. Cerebral conversations. Lurking on dog adoption websites. Hot springs. Snow. Waves. Mountain tops. Good books. Good music. Good laughs. Good people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love connecting with other people and learning their stories. I think it’s important to be kind and generous in life, with our homes and our hearts. Meeting people around the world reminds me, in case I forget, that we’re all family.

Music, Movies, and Books

So much here. I love books and music. Currently listening to Dan Auerbach (of The Black Keys and The Arcs). Reading Sapiens, an entertaining history book of the human race up to the industrial revolution, fascinating stuff. Last movie I really enjoyed was Game Night.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Flew my sister out to San Francisco and showed her around for her first adventure away from her kids in a really long time. We had a great time and she was excited to get back to her babies. Her favorite food was Chinese soup dumplings, and her favorite place was the John Muir redwood forest, tied with a secret beach.
