About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To experience and totally immerse myself in another culture

ABOUT ME

I'm an "almost single" middle-aged woman, NOT looking for a relationship, who wants to experience more of the world other than the ethnocentric xenophobia of the Tea Party and Republican's America. (Can you tell I'm a liberal?) No kids, nothing to tie me down-I'm loving living in China meeting people from all over the world-an anthropologist's dream!

PHILOSOPHY

Do it now!

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
