CURRENT MISSION

Always making new friends and learning about the world.

ABOUT ME

I teach photography and lead walking tours of my neighborhood. I enjoy meeting people of all cultures and talking about traditions, food, travel and geography. I enjoy being around artists and nature-lovers, bicyclists and gardeners.

PHILOSOPHY

Work hard; Play hard. Live to learn and volunteer to help others. Be positive and have a radiant smile. Respect the other.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I believe in a sharing economy. I live in York, Maine, a beautiful coastal village filled with history and wide beaches. One good turn deserves another, so if you offer me your couch I'll offer you mine. Clean, quiet, respectful, artsy.
