Music, Movies, and Books

books non-fiction mostly, but like a good story if a friend turns me on to one, love action-adventure movies and British TV, and all kinds of music except Dixieland and dissonate jazz. I guess my favorite books would be The Road Less Travelled, A New Guide to Rational Living and Man's Search for Meaning. Favorite song Sweet Dreams by the Eurythmics and Chandelier by Sia, favorite tv show Endeavor and Josh Gate's Expedition Unknown.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Europe, rafting the Chattooga River - the one used in one summer Olympics in Tennessee, swimming in the mountains in March, having my son surpasses any adventure though and makes life worth it!

Teach, Learn, Share

I do all three as a care advocate around the opioid crisis.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good conversation with maybe a cocktail if you like or not, quiet and neat and I clean up after myself, don't hog all the hot water or chew with my mouth open water lol Don't come with a lot of baggage literally or figuratively, at least not that I'd bother you with! :)

Belgium, England, Germany, Netherlands, Scotland

Countries I’ve Lived In
