Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Be kind and curious and take it day by day.
ABOUT ME
40-something professional based out of fabulous Santa Cruz, CA, USA
PHILOSOPHY
Be kind, as everyone is doing the best they can with what they've got. Be real, as there is too much bullshit in the world already. Be honorable, because all we have is each other. Have fun, because it will be over before we know it.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I am friendly, I am kind. I keep busy and also know how to relax. I love my friends, I love my dog, I love to read, I love to eat, I love the movies, I love to sleep, I actually sometimes love my job, and I love my family. And I'm trying to be able to look back and say "Well done!" At 45, I'm probably halfway done here.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I am new to couchsurfing. Heard about it from a fellow volunteer at my local public radio station who's traveled the world on it as a senior citizen. Impressive! I've hosted twice so far and hope to surf in Maui later this summer (2014) when there for a dear friend's wedding.
Interests
Reading, cooking, hanging out with friends, walking on the beach, going to the movies, and I'm currently fostering a dog!

Music, Movies, and Books
I love all independent film, documentaries and French films above all else. And I will pretty much see ANYTHING. I love to read, novels and nonfiction both. I love music. My current favorites include Joan Osborne, Bliss, One Eskimo, Bastille, and OAR.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I traveled to the Galapagos Islands with my family.
I flew over the volcanoes in Hawaii.
I skied Alta for one fabulous weekend.
I made a lifetime friend on a one-day stay in London.
