Busy bee/carreer waitress who recently leapt out of her comfort zone by running away from home and working as a stewardess on yachts. Spent nearly nine months on a sailing yacht last year travelling the North Pacific and this season a new boat and a bit of the Mediterranean. I am jumping ship in Montenegro and ready for some land adventures that aren’t work related...I am ready to get lost for a while before going back to real life!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

A great platform to meet new people and get the chance to live like a local, or at least get the scoop from one!

Interests

Having five notebooks on the go for random notes that are never actual writing, just the clearing of my head and never ending to-do lists.
I love re-reading my favourite books and finding new loves. Tom Robbins, Steinbeck, John Irving, David Sedaris - all gems!
Love music and going to shows, though I haven't been to as many as I'd like lately. Though I did manage to see Tom Petty thank goodness! Music of almost any genre but I'm really into indie, some classic rock and old timey country.
I'm always eating lots of fantastic food and drinking all the drinks! I eat my way through my travels and that takes priority. I'd rather take budget flights and stay who knows where so I can be able to eat whatever I want when I'm exploring a new place. I never want to have to choose not to have an Aperol spritz on a sunny afternoon in Florence or an amazing meal of fresh fish and rye bread in Reykjavik. My first stop in Barcelona was for a glass of rosè and anchovies on toast. I am living my best life!!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I jumped into Glacier Bay when I was in Alaska! Literally surrounded by mountains and and floating chunks of ice that have cracked off the glaciers. I was back on the boat pretty darn fast.
