I am a 45 year old female who loves traveling, nature, animals, and visiting art shows :).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am an introvert, and COVID restrictions have resulted in even feeling even more socially isolated. I have been staying in airbnb's for the past few months, and the most enjoyable experiences were where I developed a rapport with the host, as opposed to ones that are more transactional. Given the social component of couchsurfing, I thought I might enjoy this more. I have positive reviews on my profile: https://www.airbnb.com/users/show/45310550

Music, Movies, and Books

My all time favorite movie is Die Hard (the original). Others that top the list include Jason Bourne, Mission Impossible, James Bond, and others in the action/adventure genre (not violence). My reading preference is non-fiction. You might find me with a copy of Psychology Today or Scientific American Mind. Right now I'm reading "Dewey: The Small-Town Library Cat Who Touched the World". I have a diverse taste in music, including techno, rap, top 40, dance, and Christian.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I lived in Mexico for two months with a host family during my bachelor's program, the best two months of my life.
