CURRENT MISSION

Live life with a smile always & laugh, seriously laugh

ABOUT ME

I enjoy red wine, wine tasting, and finely crafted beers. I produce and host a radio show that showcases directors, their films, and the music in them. Playing piano is a hobby of mine, I also collect instruments. I am fond of good conversation over coffee or cocktails, as well as painting the town red! I have an open-mind, and easy going, cheerful attitude -and when traveling, I always make sure to leave room for spontaneity and adventure!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have not been able to host a traveler, but I'd meet for coffee or drinks in a heart beat!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I always think back fondly on my CouchSurfing experience. Cooking dinners, sharing, learning, trips to unexpected places, and an Italian eating and drinking experience I'll never forget!

Interests

I want to learn how to paint -any kind of painting, calligraphy, and learn various other arts. I've always been interested in the history of film, music, art, and astronomy. I never mind getting lost, I try not to plan when I am going on a trip, I enjoy taking the scenic route. I enjoy piano, wine, learning new things, golf, interesting people, exploring, trying new things, traveling

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

An amazing thing I've done is travel. Many people are not fortunate enough or gutsy enough to just go out and see the world. I find it truly amazing that I have caught such an eagerness to experience through travel.

Teach, Learn, Share

I enjoy picking up new things -practical and esoteric, a phrase or two in a new language, learning about subjects/topics I am unfamiliar with, as well as sharing my knowledge on subjects and topics I love! The best education is taught from travels and the knowledge you gain from great conversations.
