About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Cause no harm

ABOUT ME

We both enjoy running and biking, vegetarian food, cross-country skiing (We lead a Sierra Club dance/ski trip every February: www.skidance.com ). We do swing dance and contra dance. Eliot rides a Honda Silver Wing. Marta plays the ukulele, owns four and would love more if Eliot would let her. Marta has co-authored several books and written many newspaper/magazine articles, mostly on health related topics.

PHILOSOPHY

Do no harm.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We have couch surfed in Denmark and Switzerland. Our hosts have been very generous. We are also Servas members.

Interests

We enjoy our vegetable garden and trying to have a small footprint. Interested in psychology and health related issues. Like to promote safe biking in our area which sadly, is not very progressive in that regard. Enjoy playing ukulele and singing. Also like computers.
