CURRENT MISSION

Just keep moving.

ABOUT ME

I was living in NYC when the recession hit and I was given the opportunity to travel (since there weren't any jobs!!!). I started in March 2009 and am still traveling today (February 18th as of last update). Last year I was teaching English in South Korea. Now I am in India. Wherever the wind blows, I can go. I enjoy meeting people, having drinks, talking about life, reading books (of any kind - literature, biography, but I am not opposed to a mindless beach read with a pink glittery cover either).

I live a life of contradictions. I like this. I like that. I don't always know what I want, but I almost always know what I don't want.

PHILOSOPHY

Think less, feel more.
Buy the ticket, take the ride.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I would rather stay with locals than have to stay at a hostel with 20 - something travelers.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have always been a "surfer" and had nothing but wonderful experiences. You can talk to me or not talk to me as much as you like. I won't impose on your space anymore than necessary, but if you would like to chat and get to know each other, that's cool too. I understand that you are opening your home up to a stranger and respect whatever boundaries you would like to set.

Interests

Movies, music, food (cooking and eating), travel, working out, sleeping, making people laugh, being silly, drinking...this question stresses me out.

I'm 40.....I enjoy buying plane tickets and seeing new places. That's OK, right?

Music, Movies, and Books

Open to anything.
Music: indie, country, rock
Movies: documentary junkie, action, funny, romantic, I honestly don't care. Not the biggest lover of sci-fi or scary but whatever you want, it's your house!!!!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I sang in the White House.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have been an English teacher (as a foreign language) for the last year and would be more than willing/able to help you improve your English skills!

Or...if you're an English speaker....I know a little bit about everything but not a lot about anything. Could be valuable in the long run, pub quizzes and that.
