CURRENT MISSION
To make friends, learn about new people and their cultures. To be happy and share my happiness. To LIVE!

ABOUT ME

I am a mother of an awesome 13 year old boy. We snowboard, hike, bike and road trip together. I love adventure, and digging in the earth. Art and people are a constant inspiration, and I have adjusted my life accordingly in my 30s. As my son gets older, single parenting becomes more rewarding and I get to travel more each year!

BRIEF HISTORY: I have switched careers from working with SAP and Sun Chemical (research and development) to Geology, and now I have gone back to my roots, helping individuals and creating daily! I studied sculpture/painting on and off for 18 years. I love biking and hiking, and the all enjoyable fun in the sun Boulder lifestyle. (we live next to the mountains...). I love swimming and all water sports.

PHILOSOPHY
Gratitude. Share. Smile. and Breathe Deep.
Let every one live their own experience!
(after my youngest brother died a couple years ago, I have begun to redefine my life by happiness)

Teach, Learn, Share

I understand geomorphology, or how landscapes were created! I am a classically trained painter, and live in a large Co-operative. I can weld. I love to cook (and clean) with fresh ingredients and always have a smile on my face.

I am a good listener.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share information about co-operatives, and how to start small businesses. I build websites, and design a menagerie of things. I have had a lovely diverse life, and loads of experiences. I can help folks coming to the USA, find universities, and amazing secret hot springs and sunsets! I know lots about beer and mediation training. I study Jingui Qi Gong, and various yoga methods.
