Hello CS community!

I'm currently teaching English in sunny Marseille! I'm originally from sunny Arizona in the USA! I love the Sun, and the moon, and all the magic mother earth has to offer...

When I'm not basking in the sun, swimming in the sea, or taking a looooong walk, I'm hopefully creating or observing art. Singing songs, practicing guitar, painting a portrait, writing a poem, DANCING, laughing, making new friends. I love to do all these things!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on to my second year in France and on this network, and what a grand joy it has been! I love to meet new friends and visit places through the eyes of a local. I've had some of the most amazing travel experiences because of this network and the generosity of these people.
And I love to host people and hear stories of grand adventure over a delicious, home-cooked meal :)
CS gives me hope in our ability to build a future of love, aid, respect, and care in community.

Music, Movies, and Books

mmmmmm I just love music. nearly all kinds! patti smith, lou reed, and all those rock&roll poets are really important to me. but I also love disco and funk, and i can get down with techno and drum and bass and other electronic sounds.
One of my favorite movies is "Paprika." I'm big into weird adult avant-garde animation work. I also love "Jack and the Cuckoo Clock Heart."
I love love love to read! Tom Robbins is one of my favorite authors. One of the most memorable books I've read is "the Master and Margarita," by Bulgakov. I'm always taking book recommendations

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I saw a goat birth, that rocked.
I also went to clown school.
Sorry that was two things.
