ABOUT ME

I'm curious and active. I love a good story and enjoy banter with friends.
I work for myself so each day is varied with different activities. I'm always creating something. I spend much of my time in Seattle for pleasure and at times work.
I live about 15 minutes north of Downtown Seattle. I live in a comfortable 3 bedroom apartment with my 21 year old son. If you visit he would love to play a game of pool.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have been using AirBnB but wanted to tap into this community. I enjoy seeing the real places people live and meeting interesting people. It's much more fun. I enjoy cooking a meal together at my home with visitors and swapping stories and insights about this beautiful life. To enjoy the arts together including playing and singing music, African Brazilian dance painting, photography etc.

Interests

I enjoy art building things, music and dance. also tasty, real food. Learning to cook gluten free grub. It's benefited my energy tremendously. Making new friends. Running my business and growing a new one in the area of helping cool business owners share their message online. Also my daughter and I have formulated a skincare product for sensitive skin peeps like ourselves. I'm exploring somatic based practices such as Afro/Brazilian dance, contact improve and ecstatic dance. Seattle has large,active communities in these areas.
Maybe making a bracelet with pearls and Czech glass or working on a sculpture piece. Right now it's a lost wax cast glass piece.
Drawing or playing around with music is soul satisfying.
