CURRENT MISSION To make people happy and fill my passions in life! ABOUT ME I am a resident of one of the most visited places in the united states (Acadia National Park). I have been living here for 8 years. I have lived in many other beautiful places, including northern Wisconsin, Minnesota, Illinois, and Vermont. Maine has always been a place of peace for me. I am truly satisfied living and raising my family here. I have a daughter who is 7 and she is the joy of my life. I am divorced but I am quite civil with my former partner, who lives close by. I have my two passions filled while I work. Making people happy and cooking. I have been cooking in Bar Harbor for 5 years. I was educated as a teacher and continued that role in my life for several years. I have my teaching certification and have had the opportunity to substitute in the school system here. I also worked as an Ed Tech in a special education classroom with children who had learning challenges. I am still passionate about this field of work. However, I have come to new leaps and bounds in the cooking field and have enjoyed this opportunity much more and feel like continuing the career while I am here. In the past I was an outdoor educator for many organizations from East to West. I lead camping trips for young adults in various state and national forests/parks. Additionally, I ran my own variation of an outdoor adventure program in Northern Wisconsin, Michigan and Minnesota. A "dream" come true. I am well rounded and open individual. I enjoy music and lots of outdoor activities. I love movies, and enjoy a good laugh. I like being connected with others and making new friends. I love the idea of family and how we are part of each other's own family! Friendships are key in my life! I call myself a well travelled individual! I've competed in many running races and also many ultimate frisbee tournaments. I enjoy exploring where I live and sharing it with others. Biking, Hiking, Sea Kayaking, Running, Ultimate Frisbee, and XC skiing are just many of the activities I do on any given day. PHILOSOPHY To make people happy! I live my life for the idea of "living." Getting things accomplished, feeling satisfied with decisions I have made. Understanding my decisions and choices in life are mine and I am proud of my accomplishments. I am always pursuing new challenges and experiences.

Perchรฉ sono su Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I participate in talking, socialization, going to movies, having opportunities to explore, cooking for others, voting, politically involved, and passionate about our environment. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE I haven't had a "couchsurfing" experience with this system, but I have stayed with people on their couch. We weren't involved with "couchsurfing.org." I've always visited friends and made new friends and stayed on their couch. Does that count?
Musica, film e libri
I listen and am very knowledgeable about soul, jazz, funk, and neo soul. Movies are also a hobby of mine. I love seeing and talking about actors roles and the story behind the movie. I love a "good movie." My list of 10 touching movies: Remember the titans, The perks of Being A Wallflower, Crash, Disconnect, The Warrior, Rocky, Glory Road, Mighty Macs, Return of the Jedi, and the Soul of America (a documentary on Charles Bradley a soul/funk singer). Books: The Language of Flowers, Into the Wild, Between a Rock and a Hard Place, many others that are slipping my mind right now. I enjoy audio books when I cook.
Una cosa straordinaria che ho fatto
I have seen the northern lights, and done 4 half marathons and over 90 miles in running races (just this past year). I plan to achieve more this year. I also had the opportunity to play in Mixed Ultimate Frisbee Nationals in Sarasota Florida. I have explored some of most beautiful places in the United States. Lake Superior is on my top ten visited places that I find truly amazing. I live in a place now that is just as amazing and beautiful as Lake Superior!
Insegna, Impara, Condividi
I want to teach about finding simple things in life that make them happy! I want to learn about anything, I am completely open and willing to learn. I believe we all learn from our own mistakes big or small. Share: The island that I live on, cooking, playing frisbee, being active and getting a lot out of it, music knowledge is also key in my life. I am willing to share this as well.
