Overview
About Me
I've moved around quite a bit in the states.
I'm always interested in seeing a place through the eyes of those who live there: what they love and all the treasures I might otherwise miss.
I love conversations that are deep and real, and open possibilities into another point of view, another way of seeing the world. Equally, I enjoy laughter, a pot of tea and a good glass of wine!
I love dogs. Am terribly allergic to cats.
You might also look me up on Airbnb where I have many reviews as a really good guest!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I love meeting people. Staying with locals is the best way to experience any place. I believe hospitality is reciprocal. As a guest in your home, I have a responsibility to you to be just as generous in nature with my gifts/personality/spirit as you are with your space. This kind of interdependence is the very fabric of existence. When honored, it's a beautiful thing.
