About Me

My insatiable curiosity requires constant feeding.

Ever seeking:
1) connection with others
2) insight from the various geopolitical/historical/cultural perspectives
3) new experiences and things I've never seen before

I'm low-maintenance and flexible, authentic and accepting so people feel at ease with me and we usually get to know each other rather easily.

Noteworthy:
1) Profoundly allergic to mold and cigarette smoke and their residues. I cannot state this vigorously enough.
2) I cook for myself due to many food allergies. I’ve become a great intuitive cook!
3) Not interested in drinking.
4) Couchsurfing is not Tinder.
5) I will NOT engage with anyone who doesn't have references.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The people I've met through Couchsurfing are a part of my heart and have shaped my life. This CS community is made of the best people in the world!!

Music, Movies, and Books

Going to the symphony is one of my top things to do in life!

I watch movies all the time. But I might rather be out partner dancing!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I expatriated from the US permanently. Now seeking my new home.
