About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Enjoying the challenge that fear presents while recognizing the wisdom behind it! Seeking opportunity and not waiting for it to find me. Taking responsibilty for my path and always moving forward while enjoying the journey.

ABOUT ME

I feel like a citizen of the world and I like to change my scenery on a regular basis. Been bitten by the bug of travel years ago and there seems to be no end to it. And why should there be? Have done many homestays, through various means in the past and have likewise hosted many a traveler. So I've already been living the CS life. Looking forward to more connections and adventures!

PHILOSOPHY

If we all lived by the golden rules of improv theater there would be no need for psychotherapy. Main ones being to live in the moment and even "mistakes" are a gift.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I teach foreign languages and there are always opportunities to bring the topic of travel into the classroom. I've told all my students about the site and many of my travel loving friends!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None from this site but I have so many!!

Interests

Movies, theater, improv, sports, city walks, writing, reading, cooking, and I have to admit I like the occasional TV watching. There is some great stuff out there to watch though I read "Four arguments for the elimination of Television" and there were some great points in there! Totally conflicted about that hobby!
