I love to garden, hike, camp, cook with friends. I try to always have an adventure on the horizon, but spend a lot of weekends at home working on projects.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I really enjoy hosting and meeting new people. We've made some friends in the area as well as connections with people just passing through.

Interests

I stay active with things like dancing, acrobatics, bicycling, yoga and pilates. I also like to write letters, and play piano. I'm working hard to become fluent in Spanish.

Music, Movies, and Books

A few of my favorite authors are Anne Carson, Assia Djebar, David Sedaris, Michael Chabon, Jhumpa Lahiri and Toni Morrison.

I am not very picky with music, but some of my favorites are Paul Simon, Tallest Man on Earth, Nora Jones, Tracy Chapman. I have a major weak spot for soul music or anything good for dancing. I also have a couple of favorite random records I've found at used record stores.

I watch more TV series than movies. Our favorites are Battlestar Galactica, Arrested Development, Chuck, Lost, The Office, and several others. I also have been watching a couple of Spanish series: El Tiempo entre Costuras and Gran Hotel.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Slept in a hammock in the Amazon jungle. (We had guides, so it wasn't that bad *ss, but still pretty cool!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm always happy to share dinner with guests. We also love the excuse to explore new places and revisit old favorites.
