Laid back, good listener. Sometimes, I like to play devil's advocate to enrich discussions. I don't talk about myself much, let's talk about you!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’ve travelled a lot and know what it’s like to be on my own often. I want to give back and help people do more of what I consider a major personal growth activity: exploring the world.

Interests

getting lost in a good book (currently into the Wheel of Time series), hiking, snowshoeing, being a foodie, cooking, sightseeing, picking up culture from museums, food and the locals, history, art galleries, wandering around a new city, dogs and animal videos, wine

Teach, Learn, Share

I love learning the differences in philosophy that different cultures have from me. I’d love to learn to cook new dishes from you and new languages. I can teach you French and random factoids.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love cooking for people, to me it’s an act of care and love for others and I like sharing that and bringing people together at dinner parties. I bake a lot, but normally give most away. Helps me stay slim ;) lol
