ABOUT ME

I used to live with the Couchsurfing GM so have met many a surfer. Now I live with my husband and toddler in Berkeley. My interests include physical/mental pursuits such as rock climbing, ultimate frisbee, yoga and scrabble. I like to hang out in the sun and people watch and I like to dance (wish I knew samba better). I have a dry sense of humor and I laugh and smile a lot. I enjoy taking care of responsibilities, but being spontaneous is my thing. Yes, I have been spontaneously responsible. I like to try new things and see new places!

PHILOSOPHY

the only things that separate us are our beliefs.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I will host you, make you coffee, and show off my adorable daughter to you!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had great experiences surfing in Austria, Norway, The Netherlands and Italy. I've shared many meals, drinks and conversations with Surfers in my own home. We've had people from around the world here and they were all appreciative and trustworthy travelers.
