CURRENT MISSION

See the world one couch at a time.

ABOUT ME

I am of the adventurous variety. I love outdoor sports like hiking, climbing, and rafting. In the winters skiing is my mainstay.

My friends would probably describe me as positive, charismatic, intelligent, and ... fun! Sarcasm is never lost on me and I am always up for a good laugh.

I am a veterinarian. Animals are my passion and my dog, 'Doc Holliday,' makes life interesting.

PHILOSOPHY

'May you live every day of your life.'

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am looking meet new and different people from all over the world.

Interests

I have always had a bit of a travel bug and enjoy experiencing other cultures. There is no greater pleasure than indulging in the food of different cultures. I think that food is the single best expression of unique lifestyles.

Whenever I travel somewhere, I always like to bring home a piece of art to remind me of that place. I love art because it has the ability to incite new emotions and memories each time you see it.

Random as it may be, I love to salsa dance!
