Creativity and a sense of humor are extremely important to me, as well as compassion.
I’m a photographer and a business owner.
Climate change is real! Trump is the worst.
I have a special place in my heart for geeks.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love people and their stories.
I don't believe we are all ruled by money.
Generosity plays a huge role in my life.
Once I got started I don't think I can ever stop!
