CURRENT MISSION

Looking for a teaching gig in California. For now though, getting to know people and doing some climbing and surfing will work.

ABOUT ME

I moved to Long Beach with my husband and dog this summer(2017). I love to do just about anything outdoors. I climb some and I am getting back into surfing. Hiking and camping are great too.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I indulged in Couchsurfing during my three month backpacking trip to Europe in 2011. It was my first time traveling, and I was awestruck by how many wonderful people there are to connect with in so many different places. Through the process I gained a greater appreciation than I already had for an open door policy. I introduced friends I made along the way to the concept. I reconnected to Couchsurfing before my move to Taiwan in 2013 and met a fair share of my climbing crew and close ties through it.

All good....

Interests

I love being outside: hike, surf, climb, ski/snowboard and I used to spend a lot of time in the ocean. Also, mustn't forget traveling, when I have the means!

Music, Movies, and Books

Who doesn't love music? Live shows are great too. Movies are good too. Reading is a luxury I should afford myself much more often.

Teach, Learn, Share

New thought provoking experiences and interactions are pivotal to an enriching lifeS I am always open for discussion and sharing life experiences. I enjoy picking up new hobbies. I can gear up and help teach beginners to climb, but would most likely be sponging off of others' knowledge if there is more experienced climbers in the group. I enjoy surfing and snowboarding.
