About Me

I'm pretty easy to live with - I don't mind clutter, though I clean up after myself and I (usually) don't snore.
Totally easy going.... I like having a drink or 5. Love meeting new people... I like pretty much everyone.
I don't really like having a tight schedule... it stresses me out and takes away the pleasure of the moment because you're too worked up on the next thing, if you ask me!
I'm open to talk about ANYTHING - try me!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on the road! And this is a more personal experience and a good way to connect with the locals wherever you might be.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My current journey - Panama, Costa Rica, California and then decided on a whim to settle in Washington to work and make some more money for my adventure. Things have worked out pretty well for me so far!

Teach, Learn, Share

LANGUAGES - I would love to practice French, German and Spanish (at the moment my Spanish skills are zero)
MUSIC
ART - painting, drawing, photography, sculptures.
Cooking

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my piano skills and my basic guitar skills - also singing. I used to teach a music class, but it was for mentally and physically disabled people so not the highest of skills required - but we had fun!
If you already master these instruments we could jam or something:)
I can teach you tricks of art - drawing, painting etc. I could also draw your portrait or your house, cat, lamp... Something to hang on your wall!
Language practice!
I could cook you some dinner. I'm very creative when it comes to using whatever is in the kitchen...
My delightful company!
