About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I haven't been everywhere, but it's on my list.

ABOUT ME

My idea of a good time could be a night on the town filled with dancing and discos or a relaxed night with good conversations over wine.
People describe me as a cheerful, energetic, and easy going person. I like to laugh, smile, and enjoy the moment I am in. I'm always ready to have a social event...no matter the day or time. I have a wide range of interests and can participate in a conversation about almost anything.
I enjoy meeting people and learning from each person I interact with, believing that life provides us with the most valuable education.

I love to travel and would like to be able to participate in your travel experience by hosting or showing you around for the day.

PHILOSOPHY

"Sometimes, you just have to go with it"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Host, participate in CS events, and surf.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I discovered couchsurfing through a group of friends who are couchsurfers.

Interests

Learning something new from each person I meet.

Having fun and savoring life! This comes in many shapes and forms.

I am an active person and enjoy the serenity of nature. Hiking, biking, snow shoeing, skating, and kayaking are among my favorites.

I made my motorcycle license last year and have started out on a Kawasaki 440.

I love food! Good food. And drink. I can also make great recommendations to you if you are looking for places to eat here in Portland, ME.

Microbrews, wine, and cocktails. Love all three.

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy reading. I just finished Travels in Siberia, by Ian Frazier. Fantastic book, I highly recommend.

Movies: Comedy, foreign, and documentary films are among my favorites.

Music: LIVE JAZZ MUSIC, some blues, house, pop, latin (anything spicy), classical, d&b, jazz, some rock... basically, if it has a beat, I'll be interested.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Seen many sun rises over many different places.

Teach, Learn, Share

Most likely, if/when we meet, there will be a point that I manage to get you salsa dancing. . . you've been warned ;)
I am always up to learn something new and willing to try just about anything (within reason, of course^^)

If I surf with you, I hope you will teach me some words/phrases in your native language.
