I am passionate about bringing people together (building community),
especially through coordinating events, dinners and conferences. I
enjoy creating enriching experiences so that interesting people can
correlate, shape projects and laugh. I was a private chef/house manager and have worked as a program manager coordinating events, conferences, and workshops for non-profits. I am currently working in a world history classroom.

Что привело меня на Couchsurfing

I like making new friends!! It is nice to see how people live differently, yet we are all similar in our needs for happiness, community and fun.

My friends are people who understand and appreciate a quirky sense of humor, candidness and exploration. My favorite people are playful,
demonstrative, kind, and can respect another person even if they disagree.

Учу, учусь, делюсь опытом и информацией

magician's assistant, and have gotten degrees in completely opposite
