I love music and dancing. I have attended over 20 music festivals. I love camping and exploring new places and new people. I also love books and wine!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

This year I divorced after 11 years, and quit my sales job after 10 years. I have packed my life into a backpack and I am ready to see the world. First, I will move to Thailand for the next 7-8 months. I will explore for 2 of those months, and teach English for 5 of those months. I am excited to see new places and meet new people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Starting my life completely over at 34 is pretty amazing, I think!

Teach, Learn, Share

Positive Energy and Love are contagious! Spread the happiness!

"It's like a bomb explosion: the atmosphere is altered for hundreds of years. What most people don't understand is that enlightenment is a quantifiable, energetic phenomenon. It alters not only the person who awakens, but also his surroundings and the people who come into contact with him. That is how the light spreads." Mark Matousek

What I Can Share with Hosts

I really enjoy listening to people. I feel like we were put on earth to learn from each other. I am excited about life, and this is present in my energy.
