"Happiness will find you when you stop hiding." -Jean Michel Basquiat

I am a social researcher and amateur photographer, a creative writer and community helper however I can be. I'm a daring woman who loves a good laugh, a good meal, to be surrounded by good people, and enjoying what nature has to offer. Anything that allows me to learn something new, be outdoors, or exercise my creativity is right up my alley. I have a LEGO mini of myself that I carry around, it's nice to have a familiar face in a world full of strangers.

I'll be in Europe the rest of 2023 (Scotland, Ireland, Netherlands)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

People make the world beautiful, and I'm looking forward to making new friends and sharing new experiences.

Interests

My interests are many; one of my favorite things about myself is my ability to find common ground with just about anyone. One of my favorite things to do is learn so any time I can expand a skill I already have or pick up a new one, I'm having a great time.
