CURRENT MISSION

Finding my next place to live and making friends with different kinds of people

ABOUT ME

I love to dance, make art, bike, work out and just be physical. Staying in the balance means laughing and connecting with people every day.
I am comfortable in cities, the desert , and learning to be by water.
I am a deep thinker who has finally traded philosophy for connection, fun and love.

PHILOSOPHY

seeing the beauty, keeping it real and kind

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

*** Currently traveling ***

I am happy to meet up with you for a coffee and be a touchstone in your travels once I am settled again.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

CSing has been an absolute gift! So incredible to drop into other people's lives and connect openly. It has made traveling an absolute joy rather than a lot of work ( well, still takes work :) but it's a lot more fun! Yeah, I just love it when we're all in it together --- solidarity!

I am looking forward to the time when I can settle and have a home to share in a wonderful city. I'll keep you posted on that!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Leaving NYC to travel and photograph the incredible landscapes in this country. Trade in ... my yuppie lifestyle to find my gypsy way .... my city rhythms for the natural world. ... and begin a life full on the inside as well as the out. City girl gone... camping, skiing, white water rafting, rock climbing and hiking.

I love the West!
