I am a social introvert. I love to travel. My best friends are animals. Photography is my main form of art but love to write and play with other media.

Teaching and learning, understanding and caring make the world a better place. Do your best every day.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love my work - which makes it worth the low pay. But I still love to travel!

Interests

I will go on and on about thing I am passionate about. I am told it is contagious. I also love to listen to other people teach about their passions.

I can offer good conversation, potentially a meal, book recommendations and beautiful calendars full of pictures from the wildlands of Minnesota.
