CURRENT MISSION
I'm new to caretaing my 82 year old mom with dementia.

ABOUT ME
I'm a young 57 years old and live in a 55+ community!! My mom has dementia and I wanted to be around other people her age as she needs/likes the stimulation.

My passions are acroyoga, gardening, healthy living/eating, sunshine, being a kind person (yet sticking up for myself!)

PHILOSOPHY

Don't believe everything you (I) think.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I used to live in community and hate how separate our lives are. When in community, I could travel and be welcomed in to peoples homes. It's nice to see a friendly face, feel welcomed, and save money.

I've only stayed at one person's house, I currently host acroyoga friends and others by acquaintance.

Interests

AcroYoga, Yoga, Food! from growing it to harvesting it, to preparing it, to eating it. LOVE food. Thai Massage, Being in Nature, Homemade stuff: used to be more hand work, these days making fermented foods. Travel, thinking outside the box, Living simply and close to the earth.

And NOW: taking care of my mom! It's full time and a project. Learning more all the time.

Music, Movies, and Books
