CURRENT MISSION

Progress over Perfection, Pace Yourself, Say Yes!

ABOUT ME

I love any adventure, climbing trees, hitchhiking or meeting someone new. I love Ultimate Frisbee, journaling, and children. I like cloud shadows, and long meals. I like running and I love shoes. I like bread and cheese and wine and chocolate. I like people I listen much more than I speak. I am witty, confident, and friendly.

PHILOSOPHY

Failure only happens when you don't try.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've hosted and I've surfed. I am growing into this amazing network!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My most memorable couchsurfing experience was with Christos in Athens. My best friend and I were wined and dined and treated like queens by the most caring, gentle, open, funny guy either of us could have imagined. It was wonderful from the very beginning.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Waking up each day for me is quite amazing.

Falling in love

Falling out of love and figuring out how to live again.

Oh wait, that is three things. Life is amazing.

Teach, Learn, Share

How to wash clothes by hand.
The secret of high-fiving.
How to make fun greeting cards.

I want to learn new words in many languages.
I want to learn the history of places.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love to cook so I can make you dinner. I can lead you in guided meditation, accompany you on new adventures, or tell you stories of places near and far.
