CURRENT MISSION
I sort of fell into teaching business skills to small business owners. I love helping people achieve their dreams and make better lives for themselves.

I am very creative. I paint, dance, and play music. I love improvisation in all creative mediums.

I love food and love to cook. My favorite thing is to have a long delicious meal with friends. Food and great conversation.

PHILOSOPHY

I try to live my life as present as possible in everything.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Couch surfing is great! I do not like to be a tourist, I want to meet people and learn about the culture and life of where I am visiting. My best experience was meeting people in Istanbul this summer. I spent a month in the city, and couchsurfing helped me not only have places to stay, but to meet people I really enjoyed and had things in common with. I have definitely made some new friends through this site. I look forward to more. I have now started to host at home, and it is nice to have visitors, though my studio apartment makes it hard to have people for very long.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Its great! People are so open and generous.
