ABOUT ME

I'm a person with a lot of different interests. I have a hodgpodge of jobs that include office work and running my own balloon art business. I am vegetarian, though my husband is not. We have two small dogs and a cat.

My superhero talent is the ability to construct anything out of balloons that is tangible. Unfortunately, I haven't yet figured out how to make "world peace" out of latex and air, but I've certainly learned how to make hundreds of smiles.

PHILOSOPHY

Do as little harm as possible. Leave a small negative imprint and make up for it by making the biggest positive one you can.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I surfed a fair amount while bicycling around the US a few years ago. Now I'd like to meet other travelers!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Meeting people where they live has really made a difference in how I travel. I never enjoyed being a tourist, but visiting new friends in new places is fabulous!

Interests

Bicycles, balloons, books....lots of things that start with "B." I play clarinet and can pluck out 4 chords on a guitar, though I can only change chords while looking at my fingers. I love playing board games and doing "Kids" activities like building sand castles and flying kites.

Teach, Learn, Share

Balloon twisting is the most obvious and more unique skill...I'm always happy to show you how to make your own dog or sword!
