About Me

Me?
- I have been struck by lightning 7 times and liked it!
- I give every dog a belly rub, but they never return the favor!
- I won the national spelling bee (in Bangladesh)!
- I have never slept on my back!
- I procrastinate temptation!
- I bid out loud at silent auctions!
- I sleep in cowboy boots – just in case!
- People salute me, even though I’ve never been in the military.
- I know all my neighbors around a 3 mile radius by their first names.

I practice a life's outlook of no blame, no shame, and no judgments.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I participate by opening my home (or couch in this case...haha) to travelers looking to explore Denver. I have lived in Europe, Africa, Asia and South America. People have shown me generous and adventurous days and nights. They have been my fondest memories and I have made life-long friends. Now when I have the opportunity, I like to return the favor and welcome explorers to my city and home.

I have had great Couchsurfing experiences and would love to hear your stories as well.
