I am a spontaneous, fun and caring person: friends say I have the energy level 10 + years younger. . I love professional photography: people of all kinds. I can go from being very active one day to a housebound person the next. Happy to share my interests: , swing dancing(east coast/lindyhop), Country western/ ballroom dancing, psychology, photography, vintgage shopping, real estate investing, snow skiing, gardening, etc.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

What I Can Share with Hosts

Conversation- your interests? My interests, etc

Because I live close to Disneyland/Anaheim Convention Center... I get many requests for short stays/ on short notice. I will tend to more likely accept you if your from the South, East Coast or a foreign Country I would like to travel to, rather then people who are on west coast. Also, my place is medium size, I can accept no more then 1-2 people. No families with children.
