Hi!

I'm an ocean loving, adventure seeking, eight years wandering traveler. My three favorite things are SCUBA, taking care of people and the olive at the bottom of a gin martini in no specific order and certainly not at the same time.

When I travel I usually stay for a while and learn about the culture and people of the place I’m staying. I enjoy humanitarian projects. I’ve just left Antigua, Guatemala where I was working as a nurse at a clinic for malnourished infants. It was really rewarding and made me feel like I was part of a community.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Two of my best experiences traveling were renting a room from a Muslim family while working on Flores and living with a Hindu family on Bali. While I value meeting other backpackers I find its harder to know the culture from a dorm room.

***however---- Puh-lease do not message me if youre looking to hook up. There are other sites for that type of thing kids. Try match.com instead.

Interests

Happy people, SCUBA, BBQ's, dancing, sailing, salsa dancing and most sports that involve a ball. I’m also really into fitness so you will usually find me in the garden working out in the morning.

I'll apologize in advance... I love country music. Seriously :)

For books I prefer nonfiction.. especially solo circumnavigation adventures

Movies.... comedy

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I taught a boat boy who worked on the dive boat I did in Indonesia to swim and then dive. He'd been working on the ocean his whole life and never got under. His smile and him shouting Saya Diver, Saya Diver I'll never forget.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A grand sense of humor, cooking and cleaning skills and of course swimming or SCUBA lessons.
