About Me

I'm young at heart. Lifelong Learner. I love getting to know a culture through its people and its language.
I have traveled to all 50 States, and most of populated Canada.
I've worked in travel, tourism, and hotels, and I get along with people of all cultures, and love to share those things we all love and value.
My favorite feeling is the overwhelming sense of place that you get when you discover what makes somewhere unique. Favorite examples:

Listening to girls high school basketball on the radio broadcast in Lakota language.

Waking up to to roars of howler monkeys.

Taking a carnival ride that teaches the history of whisky distillation.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
