I love to visit new places, meet new people, taste new food, learn new things.
A friend taught me to say: "When is the last time you did something for the first time?"
I am American, but have lived and spent time in other countries. I have even read numerous actual books. ;-)
I feel a lot younger than my age; I'm open-minded, easy-going, and (in my unbiased opinion) interesting and fun.
I don’t partake, but am 420-friendly. I like to be with friendly authentic people, don’t care about race/gender/orientation.
In case it makes me seem cooler, I ride horses, scuba dive, play guitar, do standup comedy, ride a motorcycle. Would love to hear what you do that makes life more interesting.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Opened for Brandi Carlile (it was a benefit concert, not quite as amazing as it sounds.)

Teach, Learn, Share

What I Can Share with Hosts

Teach english or spanish; cook, clean, repair things; play or teach beginning guitar; babysit; provide philosophical discussion; travel tips; lift heavy things; share drinks with no drama :-)
