Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here to meet the people living their daily lives in the places I travel to and to meet people traveling through my area.

Interests

I am interested in anything new or that I've never done. I love to scuba dive though I haven't been much recently. Any day at a beach is a good day. I enjoy cooking and having lots of friends over to share it with. Can find me visiting random gardens and driving way out of the way for them any weekend 🌸🌻🌿🪷☀️

Music, Movies, and Books

Love all sorts of music, I will sing every word to any Meatloaf song. Musicals, the Blues, soul music, Andre Rieu are some favorites, I'll give anything but bluegrass a listen. Current authors I enjoy are Ursula Le Guin and Yann Martel, Neil Gaiman will always be number one. Also like to read about psychology by authors like Martha Stout.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was diving once in the Red Sea and was completely mesmerized by all the vibrant fish and corals all around and then it got a bit dark and shadow moved over me and I flipped over and looked up and it was a hammerhead shark, I always have little moments of awe seeing things with my eyes that I’ve only ever previously seen in pictures or movies. Was just one moment I’ll always remember.

Teach, Learn, Share

Can share a coffee, tea, hike, drive with you or just a conversation.
If you’re in the San Francisco bay area I have an endless list of favorites to share ☺️

What I Can Share with Hosts

I like to cook (maybe more love/hate situation 😜)and would love to provide a meal one night. I can also help out with any cleaning or other chores you might need help with and can offer plenty of conversation :)
