ABOUT ME

I am an outgoing photographer, who is a great conversationalist and has many interesting stories of all my travels! I am open to try new things, meet new people and visit new places! I love volunteering in orphanages in developing countries. I love a wide range of music, art and foods. My friends say I am a blast to hang out with or to just kick back and be mellow with.

PHILOSOPHY

Give more than you take and the world will be better for it !! Zen saying....Spring comes and the grass grows all by itself...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I live in other countries half the year, mainly volunteering in orphanages and cultural centers. Right now, my other home base is in Mexico so often I don't have access to Internet where I'm living - it's very remote and basic, but paradise to me!! So please forgive me if I don't answer a request!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Just getting started !!! Hope to be able to host as well as be a guest !!! So far, I have only hosted and it's been a great experience!!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Traveled the world - lived in the Middle East and India.....I love exploring the unknown! Some of my favorite moments.....hiking up to the lava flow in Hawaii at midnight on a full moon night, after the rangers had left....watching my son do back flips off a 40 foot waterfall and also cliff diving from the lava cliffs.....swimming with a pod of over 200 spinner dolphins, who wanted to play!

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a foundation where I teach photography to kids in developing countries. I like to go out shooting with friends and guests - it's fun to look through other people's eyes and to see things in a new light !!....
