Always drawn to places that are diverse, personally and professionally stimulating, and warm. Literally and socially. I love listening to, learning about, and spending time with people. I also need quiet moments to recharge. I thrive on dancing, learning, connecting. I generally go with the flow, though I also appreciate structure, clear expectations, and directness. I hear I'm especially genuine, sweet, and really easy to talk to. :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

What a great concept! I want to live in a world where all people have every opportunity to understand and be understood. Each person has something different to bring to a relationship and the world, and since it often changes through time, Couchsurfing seems a beautiful way to connect people so they can make genuine connections while exchanging simple things while they have them. While basic needs like shelter are important, it's the genuine connections that really make a life.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
