American, born with itchy feat and a Latin heart :-) One of my loves in life is traveling and learning new languages and cultures. Another is Latin dancing. I live and work in the Czech Republic but one of my dreams is to tour the world on my bike and hopefully do some dancing along the way :=)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love Europe and hope to travel throughout it as much as I can, and I think this is a great way of doing it, while meeting new people along the way.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I decided to go back to school at midlife, because I was ready for a career change. Why stay in the same unsatisfying profession for the rest of my life? Seems again like a decision to be made in a heart beat, but it really was one of the hardest decisions I made in my life. Much harder than choosing which way to point my feet as a freshman in college. Everything seemed so much easier then :) As Dylan sings, "I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now."
