Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am a little too helpful. Sometimes people I dont know talk to me about the most personal things, so I must give off trusty vibes. I am always making lists, often in a tizzy, wanting to get it all done, so I can travel. Also love the North Carolina mountains, hiking, etc. I can drive my family nuts trying to get the light right in a photograph!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None, only in my imagination so far. Well, other than as a child when 10 or 12 cousins would be bunked down in the living room. I went on an exchange a few years ago, and a lovely lady spent 2 weeks with my family. Then I spent 2 weeks with her near Copenhagan. Had a great tine, seeing, learning, EATING that great Danish food.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like all kinds do music from show tunes to Rod Stewart, from country to Darious Rucker. I like movies with happy endings or suspense. Not gory, not one that sucks the life out of me. I read all the time on my iPad. I like fiction, biography, mystery. Not much on romance novels with their predictable formulas. I also love art, and paint on my computer. Starting to go with oils and watercolor.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Volcano in Hawaii, Chitzan Itza, Stonehenge with my daughter, Canyon de Chelly, Monument Valley, Eifel Tower.
