Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
New and looking forward to my first visitor
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Wonderful. Not a single complaint. I have had lovely people who were easy to be with and lovely to have around the house. Willing to explore solo but always managed to squeeze in one sightseeing plus.
Lunch/Dinner together.
PS: I do not see where to put this but I have a room with shared toilet and bath with my two daughters and a basement that can comfortably sleep 2 people with access to a separate toilet on the first floor and the bath upstairs :)
Interests
Travel, watch tons of movies, read a lot but would rather just talk in this age of internet. I am not on Facebook, ( I finally joined Facebook a few days ago at the end of 2018 as the "last of the Mohicans/Dinosaurs in the world - you will not find much there but you can find me using the translation of my name in Spanish - Delores Ruiz) BB, I just prefer the good old art of talking in person!
PS: Finally got on the bandwagon of instagram as well. It is a lot to navigate but better late than never - @deloresruiz2015 and @blazingideas(My Book page as an Author and publisher).

Music, Movies, and Books
70's Music! I can't get enough of them. I just discovered that music I hear in the different Airline lounges all over as I travel was called "Chillout Lounge" and I went and bought almost everything I could find on Amazon. When I listen to Music, I have an out of body experience! I want to discover more
I cannot get over " Disappearance of The Universe" by Gary Renard!
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
The courage to leave friends and family at this time in life when it's so difficult to make friends as I don't network on Facebook and other social media except for limited use of Whatsapp etc with 2 little kids to a country where I did not have a single friend and did not speak or understand a word of the language.
I flew thousands of miles to watch my all time favorite Muscician - Andreas Vollenweider! Because of the journey I appeared with him in the German Newspapers which I promptly framed!
Teach, Learn, Share
I believe in the ability to dream anything into reality and enjoy encouraging people so much! I always wanted to be a psychologist but an unusual non- couch diagnosing type! I have not truly met someone who did not have something special about them, they just needed to hear it from someone else!
