I'm a traveler first and foremost. I'm a house-sitter, caretaker, couch surfer, hostess and soon to be a home trader. I'm not quite finished with my house but it's done enough to host couchsurfers again!!

PHILOSOPHIES:
If it itches don't wear it.
Talk to strangers.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I LOVE PEOPLE! I talk about Couchsurfing, host and surf. I've turned several of my good friends and acquaintances on to CS and my parents are even on here now! I am always excited to tell good people about it.

I have now been on this site for years and let me tell you everyone I've met has been awesome! I've been climbing, tubing, listening to guitar, attended a physics lecture, out dancing, snowboarding, drinking chi tea, having excellent conversations! You CSer's are FANTASTIC! Thanks!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I hiked out to the lava on the Big Island of Hawaii at night and stayed to watch the sun come up. It was very surreal and raw.

Doing The Landmark Forum!!! (and then the whole curriculum for living)

Skydiving

Eating the food of my Italian friends mother while staying with her in Bologna for 4 days, aaaahmazing!
And eating my friend Sufi's awesome raw foods!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to get organized and live in a small space efficiently.

I'd like to learn how to make wooden furniture, play guitar, write grants, and speak Spanish, Italian, French... I wish I could speak them all!

What I Can Share with Hosts

A big smile and laughter.
Perhaps help with a project you have going?
I'm pretty good at doing the dishes.
