ABOUT ME

I am authentic and a devoted friend to others. If you ask my friends what they like about me, they would say I am totally transparent, easy to talk to and be around. I can be very animated, but no dramatics. I don't believe in wasting others time. I can be quirky, who isn't, and that is what makes me fascinating!

PHILOSOPHY

Live and let live, The Golden Rule and Pay it Forward

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Newbie, Just starting:)

Interests

I enjoy the sunshine and the rain, occasional snow we get here in Seattle. My favorites are soccer( go Sounders), backpacking, hiking, walking around to Green Lake, grabbing coffee, a glass wine and sushi or occasional Hamburger, sunny cafe. In the winter I enjoy the good life to overcome the drab weather by reading, working out at the gym, winter drives into the mountains, finding cozy romantic cafes and walking in the rain. Lastly, but by no means last my Kids, family and Friends.
