About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To find other mums to live and socialize with whilst my marriage comes to an end and gets sorted.

PHILOSOPHY

First, treat others how you want to be treated. Second, learn something from every situation. Lastly, if nobody is going to die, then it's not a big deal. Relax, and let it go.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

It's been a while since I signed in here as I've been busy. I am working on getting back to America and when I do, I am happy to host again! For now I'm afraid we will have to be the guests!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have had wanderlust for the better part of 25 years. I travel several times per year and never stay in hotels. When I'm settled, I also always have someone staying in my house or on my couch. People tell me I take in strays. In fact, one of my couch surfers is now one of my best friends in the world!!!

Interests

I love travel, cultures, languages, history, meeting people and quiet evenings at home. =)

I love to find out how to cook the food wherever I am. So yeah, I can cook Israeli, American, Italian, American Jewish, Korean and some Indian food (even though I've not been to India yet). Did I mention my crepes are to die for?

I've also been a theater person as long as I can remember. I almost went to theater school in New York for University.

And music. I would need actual mourning time if I were to lost my ipod. Seriously.
