CURRENT MISSION

To live one day at a time...

ABOUT ME

I am studying public health and dig it! I also enjoy skiing, surfing, hiking, reading, traveling, exploring, Scrabble, eating good food and hanging with family and friends. I've travelled 5 of 7 continents and look forward to some day exploring all 7. I'm fairly laid back, respectful and independant. I'm fine being left on my own or sitting down for a chat over a beer.

PHILOSOPHY

Live. Learn. Enjoy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm happy to meet up with CSers for coffee, tea or a beer or host someone on my lovely blue couch.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm fairly new to CS and had a great experience in Hawaii. Unfortunately, the few requests I have had have come at times when I was out of town... still looking forward to my first hosting experience.
