I am a life-long learner, a positive person, and a jack of all trades (yes, expert of none).

I am learning Rueda, Brazilian Zouk (dance) and Italian. I garden, bike, create tile mosaics, make pasta and bread, and am an amazing procrastinator. I am a Master Gardener through the University of Minnesota Extension, and a Recycling Ambassador through my county.

When I travel I love learning about and eating local food and just wandering around a city. I have WWOOFed two times in Italy and plan on doing it again. 🇮🇹

In 2024-25 I've been dealing with PPPD. Interesting challenges, but I'm back biking! Hooray for PT!

I host on and off, depending...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet people and to save money. I prefer to experience a town by meeting people rather than seeing all the sights. This is so very exciting!

Music, Movies, and Books

Music - anything different!! I like to share music and have many playlists on Soundcloud.

Movies - action, adventure, comedy... Old favourites are: Pane e Tulipani, Bladerunner, Fight Club, Brazil, Howl's Moving Castle.
When I have a few free minutes I watch a few shows on Big Mouth, Archer, British Bake Show...

Books - I read when I can. A book I recommend is The Art of Dying Well by Katy Butler.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The recent amazing thing has been loosing 45% of the use of my inner ear (balance) and working to create new connections.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach middle eastern dance, how to make pasta, how to maintain a car, how to reduce, reuse, recycle, compost. I can learn most things!!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I will help with cleaning up and making food!! I am fairly tidy when I travel and try not to be a bother.
