CURRENT MISSION

Finding myself in a different place as much as possible

ABOUT ME

I love to travel, dance, eat and drink. I enjoy a good glass of wine or a beer at a restaurant or a bar depending on who I am with and the vibe of the people. I enjoy having a good time and am extremely active with running, biking, skiing, and dancing (oh did I mention that before??). I am a little clumsy at times but that can be both a charm or really annoying. I enjoy learning new things and listening to the ideas and opinions of other people. You can always learn from someone else.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe that life is about going out and living it, not watching it pass you by.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would love to show people the fun and interesting things I have found out about San Francisco from the people, the culture, the places, and the events.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Weeeelll, let's see. I went to Vienna and lost both my wallet and luggage (and a cell phone, owe you BIG time Stefan). The wonderful couch surfers (Stefan and Helge) completely took care of me. They offered me help, a place to stay, money, and a good time. They were wonderful and my experience with them and the people I met through them was also wonderful...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Watching the sun rise in some phenomenal places such as Vienna, Budapest, Maine, Washington DC, and San Francisco. Watching my friends experience something that brings them ultimate joy. Helped with the 9/11 identifications. Helped to solve a crime.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am always learning, when I can think of something good, and worthwhile, I will share...maybe I could give a brief synapses of my profession, because one person seemed interested in it. Like how to commit the perfect crime? I am a forensic scientist...DNA analyst, so use bleach at your next crime scene. ;o)
