ABOUT ME

I'm a photographer. I love to read, but rarely have time. I love travelling and never feel like I have a home anywhere. I get bored easily and move on to the next thing that excites me. I was born with wanderlust in my soul. I have found the perfect quote to express my feelings:
"Everything I pick up seems to lure me away. The need to travel is a mysterious force. A desire to go runs through me equally with an intense desire to stay at home. The balance just slightly tips in the direction of the airport."
--Frances Mayes

PHILOSOPHY

Don't think. Just jump!
I truly believe that travel is addictive!
"Living is the ultimate revenge."--Eddie Vedder
Life is what one makes of it--what do you have to lose by dreaming?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love to meet people. I host, surf, and will meet for drinks or coffee.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

They have all been positive experiences. I have been fortunate to meet some of my best friends through couchsurfing.

Interests

I am a photographer. I love sports, great music (although I can't play) and Harleys. I would rather be on or in the water than anywhere else and I have always wanted to learn how to sail.
I adore art and learning about the creative process behind artists' thoughts and development of their work.
Otherwise, I am addicted to coffee and love my friends.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Walked the Camino de Santiago, Skydiving, plunging from waterfalls into blue lagoons and learning to ride elephants in Laos, standing on top of the Eiffel Tower and wanting to be no place else, climbing the Great Wall of China, wandering alone through the market place in Xi'an, stepping out of Starbucks off of Broadway in NYC and hailing a cab, taking 11 college students (myself included) to Europe--many of whom had never left the U.S., watching them experience travel for the first time was amazing, drinking from the waterfalls at El Yunque in Puerto Rico, and watching as my friend ate raw, pickled herring in Amsterdam!
