Hello ! I have lived in Gainesville, Fl for 16 years, currently working as a Licensed Massage Therapist at a small office. I occasionally Green Clean and Cook too ! I love to bike ride, swim and read. I also like to travel and see new places. I'd like to travel more within Florida and get to know my state even better !

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'd like to travel more, especially within Florida to get to know my state better and take mini vacation/adventures. It's great to meet new people and make new connections - I'd like to host at my home too ! Couch surfing makes it possible to take a short trip, meet new people and keep it cheap !

Music, Movies, and Books

I like everything from poppy and powerful female singer/songwriters like Meghan Trainor and Kacey Musgraves to soulful Bonnie Raitt and relaxing William Ackerman.
Movies can be comedies or documentaries. One of my favorites is Our Idiot Brother with Paul Rudd because it makes me laugh at my own bohemian eccentricities. Cartel Land about everyday Mexicans fighting for their towns and well being was sobering. I've watched all the Best Picture Academy Award Nominees for the last couple of years.
Right now, I'm reading Wildflower by Drew Barrymore and The Lotus and The Stars - how we can pick yoga poses to balance the characteristics of our astrological signs.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I did a two week bike trip from Apopka, Fl to Fort Clinch State Park (N Fl border with GA) camping at State Parks along A1A.
