I love to cook for people, partner stretching, bodywork, reading, dancing, having silly pointless adventures, talking about nothing at all, exploring intense ideas and concepts, staying active, traveling, and trading learning experiences. I don't care much for media, celebrities, politics, complacency, close mindedness, etc. Things I like to do include going out to eat, for drinks, dance clubs, adventure parks, sitting on the couch just talking, anything involving costumes, playing with children- I've been a caregiver for children 0-12 years and am a kid-friendly roommate. Pet friendly, too.

About Rocco:

I've never really been a dog person but Rocco's THE SHIT! Here's why: He is handsome, friendly, gentle, sweet and small but DOESN'T BARK like most small dogs. He's quiet and well-mannered and pretty empathetic if you're having a bad day. He's kid-friendly too and in fact gets really excited about young children because he thinks he's one of them. He was also trained very specifically not to play with hands. He has growled at a few dogs before so I know he's not stupid- but he's never growled at a person, ever. He doesn't chew, or do whatever bad dogs do. Frankly I don't know what those things are because he's my first dog and he doesn't do them. He's a lover.

***You do not have to be a dog person or love mine. I totally get it. I just need him to be welcome with me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To offer a safe place for friends to stay while visiting the area and/or to have intellectual conversations, adventures, & eat great food with good people who need a place to stay. Bigger Picture: I'd love to see the world more fluid in exchange of people and culture and what better way to encourage that than to offer exactly what I'm looking for- kindness and boarding for travelers!
