I’m a retired speech-language pathologist who’s young at heart, enjoys traveling and meeting new people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think it would be fun to meet locals and other travelers (Hangout feature) when I’m traveling alone. I am interested in interacting with people from other countries on a more personal level.

Interests

Travel of course! Beaches, snorkeling, walking/hiking, wineries, movies, plays, gardening, animals, art, different cultures. I eat vegan and vegetarian food.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can help English language learners with pronunciation and grammar if they wish. It would be great to practice my Spanish. I enjoy conversation about information and stories regarding travel to different places.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can help English language learners with pronunciation and grammar if they wish. I can buy you a meal at a restaurant or drinks at your favorite bar, or pay for some groceries and help with meal preparation, pet care, or housecleaning.
