I love being in nature, reading great literature and watching classic movies. I love exploring beautiful places and experiencing the local culture. I have been fortunate enough to call some beautiful places home. I have lived in Taos, New Mexico, Durango, Colorado, and now Santa Cruz, California. I am an artist and also have a passion for the wine industry.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to actually get to know new people in new places. I am looking for new friends and fun experiences that I would not have the chance to find if I was staying in an anonymous hotel. I love living in California and would like the chance to spend time in more parts of it that are somewhat off of the beaten path, as those are the places I have always been most drawn to.
