One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Raised a beautiful 3 year old (my sister). Most challenging and most rewarding thing I've ever done!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm an archery pro! Well not really but I'm pretty good, so I'm willing to teach that! I'm great at conflict resolution and communication so I'm willing to be a listening ear and help you problem solve. I'm looking to learn anything that the universe will have me learn through whatever channel it comes.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm fun and creative! I love exploring new places and I love traveling. I love artistic endeavors - photography, painting, scrap booking, making music - you name it. Let's make some art and wonderful conversation.

Countries I’ve Visited
