ABOUT ME

I am easy going and adventurous. I have had many jobs in the corporate world and I enjoy talking to and meeting new people. I love animals, good jokes, good company and good music. I am very open minded, creative and a forward thinker. I am fairly handy with household things, gardening, farm work and the like. I love live music, performance art, visual art of any kind, up-cycling, making something out of nothing, and the outdoors. The people that know me well describe me as a non conformist tree hugging hippie and I'm okay with that.

English is my mother tongue, but I can effectively eavesdrop in French and Spanish.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to expand my travel opportunities and help do the same for others. I want to learn and experience as much as I can in life and meeting people from all corners of the earth definitely help fulfill that desire.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am generally a quiet person, sometimes on the shy side... but love to listen to and discuss people's perspectives in life. I'm generally a better listener than a talker. I love helping people.
