Love to dance (especially salsa & bachata). Zumba instructor. Animal lover (I own an exuberant puppy). Mom of two, and our household also has a housemate and au pair.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Interested in meeting others and learning about different walks of life. My opportunities to travel are a bit limited, but I'm hoping to do so on a leaner budget with CS in the future...but more than that, to meet locals who can quickly show me the ropes!

Music, Movies, and Books

Latin music is my fave, as well as old school Motown. I also enjoy Christian rock music. I don't really watch movies too much, and never watch TV sans the news once in a while (I mostly get my news from the internet...no commercials that way and I find what I want rather than waiting on it). As for books, I'm usually reading whatever pertains to the next training certification or educational test I have coming up!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I won the Showcase on The Price is Right!

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to do all three here :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Very courteous and mindful, I would be sure to treat your home with utmost respect and clean up after myself promptly. I can be a chatty Cathy, or leave you to your own peace and find myself something to do if you need privacy. I am a very independent person and would not need to have my hand held, but would welcome any offers to show me your hometown and what the locals do :) I could also teach some basic dance moves for a variety of dance rhythms if interested. I'm a decent cook, not a great one, but would be happy to make a meal for my host as a thank you!
