I am from Seattle, USA and am currently traveling. I lived in SE Asia on and off for about three years, trying to visit as many places as I can before I get so old I just need to hang out by a pool and drink margaritas all day long. =) Which actually sounds like a good idea...

I would like to meet interesting people in the places I visit who can share some of their experiences. Every place has something to offer and I love meet the locals who know all the interesting and special areas that make each place unique.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I used to share my house with people I've meet around the world. Now that I am traveling I am looking to meet people in the places I am visiting so I have a deeper experience.

Interests

I love the outdoors, hiking, photography, beachcombing, exploring new and unusual places, travel, yoga, meditation, cooking, and a good conversation. I am pretty laid back and have a wide variety of interests. I love meeting new people and learning about new places.

Music, Movies, and Books

I read a lot, from history to bestsellers. I will give just about any book a chance. My music tastes and movie preferences are rather broad too, but when I am not reading I usually like to be exploring outside.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have been fortunate enough to experience a lot of places and meet a lot people around the world. There are so many things I've done, but so much I haven't. If I had to pick one thing, I would say that diving a Mexican cenote in the Yucatan was perhaps the coolest thing I've done.

Teach, Learn, Share

Pick my brain anytime. I am happy to share my experiences about the places I have visited and lived and I really enjoy learning about other people's experiences and getting know people from all over the world.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can help with learning English, travel planning, help with business marketing, websites, some technical stuff, and of course my friendship and time.
