I'm a little bit of everything all rolled into one: I'm a writer. I'm a teacher. I'm a student. I'm a hiker.
I love meeting new people, and I love to hear their stories. Every person has a story and I'm ready to listen.
I love to be outdoors: camping and hiking. I also (try) to practice yoga and meditation.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When I travel, I often don't get to meet the everyday people of the community. I love to hear different reflections and ideas about history, culture and politics. I want to learn about a place from the inside out by connecting with people.

Interests

I may only inch my way down a ski slope, attempt to catch a wave, or close my eyes as I paraglide; but I'll try it! I am more at home hiking, and discovering the world as I trek over mountains and put one foot in front of the other.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've swam with sharks in Borneo: terrifying and amazing.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to hear what people have to say about their countries. I always learn so much from others. I can teach you how to make Irish soda bread or a Pisco Sour. I am always willing to share a bottle of wine...

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can make excellent guacmole.
