Hi, I’m Margaret! I am a complex person, and I guarantee that you’ll hear me say “One time I did this, didn’t I tell you about that?!” upon spending even a short time with me. More basically, I’m a creative, musical, artistic person in a technician’s body. I have degrees in Geology, French, and Welding. I like to blend odd aspects of life. I make metal art, I play various instruments (mainly bari sax), and I love spending time with my friends and spending time alone. Life is too short to leave things unsaid. Tell them. Write them. Say it all.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

There’s something so beautiful about the selflessness of travel-focused hearts. We’re all in this together, and it’s an honor to do my part in making global souls possible!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once won a Midwest Simpsons trivia competition playing as a single person team.

Teach, Learn, Share

Learning and teaching are what make life worth living! I was a graduate lecturer at university for a number of years and it was incredibly fulfilling. I was also a big band jazz director for a few years as well. Being a student and a teacher both come naturally to me; teach me something!!
