I am a 40 something living on the northeast side of Chicago with my husband (a British ex-pat) and 2 dogs. I work as a legal department manager and my husband works in manufacturing. I am a licensed massage therapist that loves to travel, see movies, read and play video games.

Music, Movies, and Books

alternative current, 90's and 00's for music, but I also enjoy most kinds of music. I am big fan of fiction both current and historical, also biographies and history. I am a huge fan of sci-fi especially post-apocalyptic thrillers. I enjoy action films, sci-fi, horror and drama (big fan of foreign film - nice to live in Chicago).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I swam with the humpback whales in a preserve off of the Dominican Republic. I have worked with indigenous healers around the world for 20+ years.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A wealth of knowledge on books and film and loads of travel stories.
