CURRENT MISSION

explore, learn, soak up knowledge and fun new adventures with new people!!!!

ABOUT ME

I am an artist living and working in Seattle. I love the northwest with its trees and green mountains, and am always dreaming of exploring new places. Better to meet me in person than to try and judge my personality by this trivial list, but it's what we have for now. I love trying new things and discovering life by the moment. Aquarius, scattered, free spirit, head in the clouds, but always focused on my current goals and the big picture in life.

PHILOSOPHY

make the the most of each moment, don't get hung up on the small stuff. I can't break my entire life down to one phrase or saying.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I just joined CS, and had my first few experiences in Spain, Belgium and Scotland. I stayed with great people and definitely want to continue to participate at home and throughout the world. I look forward to hosting other travellers in the future, although I currently don't have a couch, just a big fluffy dog. He's not much of a place to sleep though.........

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Looking forward to future experiences, I've visited and hosted old friends and their companions over the years, and just recently did some surfing through europe. It was a wonderful adventure and I can't wait to offer my own couch and keep meeting amazing folks from across the globe!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Amazing music shows in, around seattle. The Gorge in eastern Washington. New York- the museums, the neighborhoods and the people! Redwood trees, old growth evergreens, olympic mountains, snow in British Columbia, night swimming in the summer. skydiving!

Teach, Learn, Share

In the exchange of ideas, experience and knowledge I hope to offer some artistic musings and skills. Vegetarian cooking, dancing with wreckless abandon and possibly useless trivia! I'm crafty and hope to meet people I can share this with. I don't want to list everything here because the learning and sharing should be spontaneous and natural. You want to know what we teach eachother? Start a conversation, and maybe we shall meet up in september/october............
