I manage a small real estate company in Pittsburgh, PA. We buy houses, fix them up, and rent them out. I also do energy healing, yoga, mixed media art, mosaics, graphic design and, photography. I am a kind and considerate host/guest, and interested in hosting, and/or staying with like minded people.

We have some reviews in my husband, Dan Warren's, couchsurfing account, and on hospitalityclub.org. His user name is dgandhi. I also had reviews on this site, but I cannot access my old profile since the site was redesigned.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet interesting people, continue to expand my horizons, reciprocate for all the generous hospitality I've been blessed with (through couchsurfing.com, hospitality club.org, and SERVAS), to have a richer, and more authentic experience when I'm traveling.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: bossa nova, folk, classical, jazz

A few of my favorite filmmakers: Federico Fellini, Pedro Almadovar, Woody Allen, David Lynch...

I read a lot of books on various topics, as time permits. Also, I've been listening to Audible books in my car. I'm currently listening to "The Blue Zones of Happiness" by Dan Buettner, and really like it so far. Another great book I heard recently, and highly recommend if you're interested in healing, was "Advanced Energy Anatomy" by Carolyn Myss.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was teaching elementary school, and had summers off, I liked to fill them with adventure. One summer, I travelled alone through Europe, on a shoestring, with a Eurailpass and a backpack. I stayed mostly with SERVAS hosts and at hostels, learned new languages, met lots of interesting people, and found new perspectives on life.
