My husband, Peter, and I live in Seattle. He writes code and I write copy. We love meeting people in our travels, sharing good food and exploring new cities.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

While living in the Czech Republic, my roommates and I offered up our couch to the CS community and participated in events with local couch surfers. We had great experiences hosting in Prague and staying with couchsurfers in Vienna.

It's been awhile since then. I'm back in the States but keen to get back to traveling and meeting locals.

Interests

I love theater, dance and film. Peter enjoys computer programming so much that after spending the week at work writing code, he does it for fun on the weekend.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

As a journalist I covered a story about a woman who was told that her son died shortly after birth. I was at the family reunion when that child, alive and well, appeared on her porch 29 years later.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can (and have!) taught swing dancing -- Lindy Hop and Charleston to be specific.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good stories and a sense of adventure.
