I’m a US citizen who recently lived for several years in Ukraine. I’m an avid traveler having spent time in SE Asia, Africa, Eastern and Western Europe. I have enjoyed making friends from all over the world and hope to keep adding great people to my connections.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like meeting new people and helping folks learn about the places in which I live. During my travels I am interested in the geography and culture of the place but also the connections made with locals and fellow travelers. Experiences and community energizes me.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love the Star Wars movies and anything by Wes Anderson.

I read all the time and am so grateful for ebooks.

Music-I have favorites but they reach into the hundreds. I enjoy most genres too. Always love to learn about new artists.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Moved to Ukraine for a United States Peace Corps Volunteer experience. Lived and worked in a small village in Western Ukraine assisting the village council with a variety of development projects and trainings.

Ukrainian lessons, knitting lessons, good cheer.
