I'm fun, affable, outgoing, creative, caring, and funny. I love to chat and befriend people. I also grew up with manners and I'm very respectful when it comes to staying at someone else's home. I clean up after myself (not just in the kitchen..the bathroom, the bedroom etc.). I'm someone who really just enjoys connection and good conversation over tea !

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I love meeting new people and being social. If I had a place to call my own I would absolutely invite guests. I think the best thing about this concept is that you'll meet many people in different walks of life. I enjoy chatting about all different kinds of things, food, politics, climate change, tv shows, etc.

Music, Movies, and Books

I LOVE music - minus country :-). After visiting Berlin for 4 weeks, I came home and took Dj courses (just call me the next Ellen Alien..jkjkjk) and absolutely loved it. I’m by no means a pro but it’s definitely a fun side thing. I like to mix deep house and techno (clearly) but at the moment I’ve been listening to a bunch of groovy stuff like The Floozies and The Disco Biscuts. I’m also really in 50s & 60s Jazz like Wes Montgomery and Oliver Nelson. Music is a big part of my everyday life and I truly enjoy sharing new songs and great artists with people. My Favorite shows right now are the American version of The Office, Handsmaid Tale, and Broad City. I enjoy a good book and documentaries on Global Warming/Food/travel.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One time while camping in Death Valley, California our tent became surrounded by Coyotes in the middle of the night. My cousin, who I was camping with, had broke the zipper to our tent before we went to bed ~eyeroll~ So I threw a tarp over the door. Thankfully it was enough to keep them out of our tent but not without a whole bunch of howling and sniffing around. I'll never forget it!
