I am a 66 years YOUNG Jewish Christian woman who loves God, people of all ages and backgrounds, and the arts, who has many years experience in education mostly as a voice, flute and acting instructor, as well as ESL since 2000. A widow with two grown beautiful talented daughters, I left the Netherlands after my 24 year marriage to their Dutch father, who brought us all there in 1999, ended in divorce. A very vulnerable time, I remarried another Dutchman who passed away from cancer in 2014 just 10 months after our wedding, just before his 78th birthday. Since returning to Seattle, Wa., the city of my youth, I have enjoyed many blessings, including ESL tutoring work with Japanese and Chinese university students, living with and caring for my psychologist mom's Alzheimers condition until 3 months before she died, leading my church choir, and now falling in love HOPEFULLY for the last and BEST time!

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

My new fiancee , Charles Waterland, and I met online through Seattle singles the day he moved from Seattle to Minneapolis, to be near his son and grandchildren there . Completely smitten with each other from video messaging, several times daily for 3 months, we have tried to be patient, but have become increasingly sure that we are meant to be together so will meet on October 20th to 24th! A TRUsTWORTHY IT help desk employee, he has had to start over in his new home where I hope to relocate eventually,but first, since we are meeting for the first time, I need him to have a reasonably comfortable place to sleep NEAR my apartment in the Bitter Lake area, as my strong convictions from my faith dictate no cohabitation until marriage, to which he "reluctantly" agrees. I need to find a place for Charles to stay

Morceaux de musique, films et livres

Music- BTC type gospel, jazz, Musical theater, classical, and pop if its GREAT!

Movies- I love great teaching films , anything uplifting, golden oldie musicals, love stories, transformational stories ie; Music of the Heart, the Freedom Writers, and my favorite- The MIRACLE WORKER! , and good comedies

Though for me, all other books pale in comparison to the Holy Bible, I have enjoyed many autobiographies if they're honest and real- CS Lewis, Jane Fonda, etc...modern living challenges, whatever is educational. Not much of a novel buff, but appreciate the artistry of a good novel.

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

Besides MIRACULOUSLY giving my life to Jesus on August 28th, 1993 , I bore and raised two AMAZING daughters! - Shena-31, is a video artist, comedienne and singer on the side- loves to make documentaries in SF, and Daavia, 26, living/ working in Seattle/Shoreline area is a pro singer, nanny on a boat with an infant, and music teacher.

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

A couch surfing place for Charles to stay October 20th through 23rd near my apartment in Bitter Lake area, will help us slow down our considerably passionate natures with each other to start building a TRUE LOVE that will last! We are both maritally experienced and want this time to be the one that WORKS!

After his too short visit, I can contribute voice, flute lessons

Ce que j'aimerais partager avec mes hôtes

I would be glad to cook, play or sing for you and Charles, being a handyman and good with computers, likes to help others a lot with anything he can - he is a vigorous, healthy, 70 year old man who is more like 50 energetically.
