CURRENT MISSION

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn'€™t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover" - Mark Twain

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Dancing until sunrise in London, Sweden and LA. Visiting every Art Nouveau building in Nancy, France. Eating hot chocolate with a spoon in candlelit cafes in Krakow, Poland. Walking under thousands of red torii gates in the Inari Shine in Kyoto. Driving along the costal highway from San Francisco to LA.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm all for giving dancing lessons particularity in swing dancing and authentic solo jazz which I've been doing for over ten years.

Music jams with musicians interested in Jazz. I've been learning ukulele, my husband plays guitar and we have an upright (slightly out of tune) piano that would like to see some use.

I also would be interested in sharing conversation and ideas.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Music, food, a laundry machine.

Countries I’ve Lived In
