CURRENT MISSION

amor y libertad... y comida

ABOUT ME

I used to play drums in a bagpipe band. Thistles and dandelions are tied for my favorite flower. Cherry blossoms are my second favorite. I play the marimba, the vibraphone, the drums, the mandolin and the accordion. I am a goddess in the kitchen. I am skilled with pickaxes and paring knives. I am much more comfortable peeing out of doors than in.

PHILOSOPHY

Peace is every step

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

A-hostin' and a-surfin'!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I hosted and met lots of folks through Couchsurfing when I was living in Seattle. I lived in Bluegrass House, which was next door to Canada House, and between the two we got friendly with good people from all over the place. Canada, Australia, Brazil, all over the US. It was awesome to always have new beautiful people coming in and out of my life, via my couch!

I couchsurfed while traveling in Europe during the summer of 2008, in Germany, Spain, France, Denmark, England and Scotland.
