I was a Chef for 11 years before deciding to travel with my 13 year old daughter. I have learned many different types of Cuisine from Asia to Ireland. We try to travel atleast 2 times a year for a month at a time.

I Currently bake in the daytime a homeless shelter and I'm an Uber driver, while putting my self thru College. Only two years left, then I would like to work in South America where life is more relaxing and designed around community.

Who knows what the future holds, but in the meantime, I want to meet people from all over my country and many other countries to come.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am couchsurfing to meet other people, and to get a local perspective on the area where they live. Learning the culture, economics, and the daily life of someone living in Ireland or Bangledesh would bring me more understanding of the area.

The main focus is to learn from others.

Interests

I have many interests. I love to cook, to eat, to make my own hard apple cider. I love to Swim, to Kayak, and to snorkeling.

Hiking is fine, but I look for a little more adventure sometimes as in White Water rafting. Never done that before, but would love to try it.

I also love animals. All kinds really. From Bugs To Gorillas. Maybe have a farm someday. Who Know.

My biggist interest in travel. I have been to 7 countries and looking to go to 70.
