I love cooking, eating, traveling, photography, ceramics, dancing and life in general!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

CS has given me the incredible opportunity to meet people, do things and explore places I never would have otherwise. I have had amazing experiences with people from California to Seattle to Spain and the people I've met through Couchsurfing never cease to amaze me with their refreshing spirit of generosity, openness and sharing.

Now when I'm going someplace new, one of the first things I get excited about is meeting new folks through CS!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Took a long walk with a friend in Mumbai during monsoon season and had a glorious time getting drenched in the torrential rain with smiles on our faces, then ending up at an amazing restaurant where we ate warming, delicious things until we finally dried off.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teaching, learning, sharing--that's what it's all about! My hosts have taught me about their cities, where to find the best ice cream shops, helped me practice my Spanish and taught me about photography. I've learned so much from all of them and we've shared some pretty wonderful memories together

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love to cook with people! I would be so excited to learn about your favorite regional recipes and cook you up a tasty meal from my hometown too :)

I also just love to listen--my work is all about helping people craft their vision of the future and get where they want to go so I'm looking forward to hearing about your vision and all the exciting things your future holds!
