Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING:

So far I have only surfed. Since I am traveling all the time and share a home with others, I am unable to offer up a place to stay. I will, however, go out of my way to help a fellow traveler out if they need suggestions as for places to go and things to see and I am always up for meeting for coffee or a drink!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE:

Unbelievably AWESOME. I have met so many cool and interesting people. It's been a really great way to get to know the little things about different cultures outside of what you read and/or hear about through media.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Riding a camel around the Gizas. Watching the monks early morning chanting ritual, and being blessed by a monk in Thailand. Driving the autobahn from Munich to Berlin. Going to Bonnaroo! Celebrating the 125th birthday of the Eiffel Tour in Paris. Watching the Inauguration of Barak Obama on the National Mall. Hiking Kalalau (the 10th hardest and one of the most dangerous hikes in the world). Watching the sun set over the Straight of Gibraltar. Washing my face with a cloud with my sister on our way up to the Cedars in Lebanon. Rescuing a bird in N.H. Going to a hip hop concert in Prague...I could go on and on...

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a great whistler! I would be happy to teach anyone that doesn't know how. I am also an exercise enthusiast. I am a certified Spin teacher and Yoga Instructor. I love sharing any knowledge I have about sustainable living practices, nutrition, skin care, art, music, beer and travel. I love learning about almost anything..seriously.
