I am a female professional who enjoys places such as look out points, farmers markets and art museums. I enjoy hiking on occasion, biking, yoga, and tasty food. I am an introvert, however, open to exploring and interesting conversations.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I enjoy meeting new people and sharing stories/recipes with good conversation or an activity. I find myself having random conversations with "strangers" more often than I think other people do, and 9 times out of 10, I come away from the conversation appreciating that person more, making an acquaintance, feeling happy, and learning something new.

Interests

Music - I played piano while growing up (have a few memorized songs, but do best with sheet music) and I enjoy live music. Yoga - this is what got me through dental school, and breathing is something I try to pay attention to while exercising and working. Outdoors - I prefer mild/warm climates, not a particular lover of the snow, however I am Canadian and know how to live with it. Art - I particularly enjoy paintings, and do paint from time to time. Flora - pretty, delicate, and perfect.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Taken the initiative to learn more about myself through reading, and visiting the places where I feel happiest.

This may be way odd, but counting back in French to distract a child while administering local anesthetic is pretty high in my books.

So, I am looking for stories/experiences/songs to add to my "calm and distract" repertoire.
