CURRENT MISSION

I'm a midwestern American girl with a laid back West Coast lifestyle. Bike, hike, play music, swim, read, write prose & songs...improve French language skills

ABOUT ME

I'm a musical soul... sing, play instruments like mandolin, flute, banjo, and piano. Generally, I'm not shy. It's easy to walk into a room and begin a conversation with someone. Accepting and non-judging. I've traveled many laps around the U.S., sailed to Canada a few times and visited islands like Trinidad/Tobago, Bahamas, San Juans, traveled England, Ireland, France. Now I hope to visit other cultures as work / time allow.

PHILOSOPHY

What goes around comes around. Karma Rules!
Do what you can to be a positive influence on others' lives and stay true to yourself.
Life is to be enjoyed. It's an adventure from beginning to end.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am willing to share my couch with fellow travelers. It really is a couch. Comfy too. Not many people choose Cincinnati, Ohio as a travel destination, so it is more likely that I will use other couches more than the other way around.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

-One night. I stayed in Seattle via a couchsurfing suggestion. It was marvy. I had a seperate "cabin" behind the main house equipped with a wood burning stove and lovely bed. Took my host out for morning coffee and she told stories of lovely Seattle historic lore.
-Southampton, England. Stayed with Ainsley. Nice host in great location near train and Pubs.
-Dublin, Ireland. Ciara + me had a lovely day and evening in the city.

Teach, Learn, Share

Love to learn about how other people live. The U.S. is such a large country, that it took a lot of time to visit 48 states. Now the world awaits.
Music is the universal language. I hope to make music in many countries with a focus on native styles of music.
