About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To experience as much as my senses can stand, nearly to overload

ABOUT ME

Too much life going on here! I need to focus....Music, art, spirituality, theater, writing, cultures, traveling, good conversations, latin dancing, hip-hop dancing, hiking, laughing, cooking, fashion, health & nutrition, helping people get fit, making people dance....and much more.

I've traveled to over 10 countries in my time, and I don't intend to stop. I generally love life - except when I'm not enjoying myself; good food - except when I eat too much; and traveling - except when it sucks to pack and fly on planes and stuff.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I just moved to Colorado, and I cannot host at the moment. However, if you are ever in the DENVER area, let me know! I'd love to meet you, grab a beer, or something.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have lived with families in Russia, Ukraine, and the Philippines, to name a few. Staying with those families, rather than in a hotel enhanced my understanding of those particular cultures, making the trips all the more viable.
