Hello couchsurfers! I am a quiet, calm and optimistic kind of person. Like most people, I appreciate delicious food, music, and art. I have a good sense of humor and adore folks who can make me laugh (it's not hard to do!).
I also find that writing about myself is brutally challenging.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One of my favorite things about traveling is making new friends and getting inspired by the different ways people live around the globe!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'll exchange stories with you in person :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I suppose it depends on your interests. I could teach you an American folk song, how to bake a loaf of bread, to get rid of a headache with accupressure and essential oils, how to annoy your sister...?

What I Can Share with Hosts

Help around the house, cleaning, cooking. Keep your sofa warm?
