I love learning, about the world, about other people, about cultures, about new ways of doing things. Travel is something that expands my horizons, reminds me of the vast world around me, and helps me to be a more humble, curious, and loving person.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love the idea of sharing my travels with others. I do NOT love hotels. Travel is more fun when I get to learn about how someone else lives.

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy most types of music, I love to dance: freeform and tango. I like to sing, even if I don't know the words. I enjoy stories, especially fantasy and fiction. I also appreciate memoirs and autobiographies. I'm an avid learner about how I can be my best self, and am constantly challenging the way things are to learn how they can be better. I am working on embracing and accepting what is - books, movies, and other stories help guide this path.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

New year's eve 2017 I shaved my head (shaving cream and all!) donated my hair, and raised $1000 for the Ronald McDonald Charity House for children who are suffering from disabling illness or disease and require a place where they have safety and comfort with their loved ones during the unpredictability of their treatment.

Teach, Learn, Share

Yes, all of those things! I made a button this year that says
Break Barriers
Build Bridges
I want to Hear your Story

What I Can Share with Hosts

My kindness, laughter, and love. I can be of help, I am a good listener and often have great ideas about ways to make life a little easier (I try my best not to offer advice unless it is requested!) I can share stories, cooking, and the precious gift of human connection.
