I'm curious about life. I want to know how things work and how they came to be. I like to know people's stories, and I'm fascinated by the paths and choices that people make. I'm an avid traveler and hands on experimenter.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I try to travel off the beaten path, and Couchsurfing is a perfect way to experience the local culture and meet new people. I think it's important to connect with people while traveling and opening up one's home is the most generous way to meet other travelers, share stories, and make new experiences.

Interests

I love food, wine, ice cream, pajamas, swimming, dancing, backpacking, the ocean, my bed, the smell of low tide, puppies, crafting, gardening and fresh produce, learning other cultures etc.

Mostly I like to spend time in nature, craft, and meet new people.
