ABOUT ME

Am persistent, energetic and very positive - you have more fun that way. Left California five years ago, been in 17 countries over five continents.

Like knowing about different cultures, different food, what makes people laugh. I laugh out loud in subways when I read - freaks some people out.

PHILOSOPHY

be positive and take risks;you'll live longer and have a happier life

Enjoying surfing with many delightful and generous hosts - and adventure without parallel.

Doing drinks and info now that am in front of my computer finishing my book in Paris.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Have had two great couch surfing experiences in Budapest. Both couples could not have been more helpful or perfectly matched in interests. Sunny Sunday at Mineral Baths a fantastic experience thanks to Andras and Boogie. Chris and Rita's dinner for me great and Chris' Hungarian phone calls for me life-saving!
