Hello! I'm a former college professor, future community acupuncturist. Seeker of beauty and truth. :)

I live in a sweet place with my partner, Jake, and--though we are pretty quiet folk--we love to meet new people, through hosting and surfing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Sometimes, at night, I fall asleep by thinking of things I'm grateful for, and connections with friends (especially new ones) are always at the top of the list.
