I am open-minded, tolerant, gentle, very chill, practice meditation daily, am a non-smoker, social drinker, and drama free.
I'm LGBTQA 🌈 and friendly with almost everyone.
I've lived in three countries; I like to explore the local scene and fun places day and night. I'm quiet and deeply involved in human rights and equality issues worldwide. Common ground is my favorite place.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I stay at really lovely Hotels related to my work but miss the fun and excitement of the local culture. The Hotel isolates you from the experience and learn only what the front desk tells you. Or, what you might read in a local travel pamphlet.

Interests

Learning is a passion of mine. I'm currently enrolled in post grade work at the University of Wisconsin. I love the human experience and am fascinated by how others have their own unique spin on approaching new solutions to life's challenges and tasks.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have lived in other countries for work.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am writer and consultant to nonprofits around the world. My career was in television programming. I am now able to donate some of my skills to wonderful groups who help address worthy issues but can't afford to hire anyone to help them.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I've never been happier than I am right now. I am a very positive, supportive, and a good listener. I'm told my relaxed attitude and happiness is contagious. I love people as they are and hope they are as accepting of me. My life experience, postgraduate degrees/education, and my geeky side makes for some interesting stories.

Countries I’ve Lived In

Bahamas, Canada, Mexico, United States
