CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy each day and expand my world through travel and the connections made with other kindred traveling spirits

ABOUT ME

I love to travel and to share the stories travelers bring to my world.

PHILOSOPHY

Everyday is a gift. I try to open the present and not lose the surprise.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I met a Frenchman in India, November 2010, who raved about this site and the fantastic opportunities for travel and meeting truly giving people. I'd heard of the site before but he tipped the balance.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've surfed in Texas and Ecuador. It is as much of a joy to be a guest as it is to host

Music, Movies, and Books

"The Princess Bride", "Saving Private Ryan", and "Something's Gotta Give" are my favorite movies in the romance, drama, and comedy genres.
I lived P/T in Austin and was spoiled by all the fabulous music presented live. David Gray, Krista Detor, Vienna Teng, and classic rock are on my playlist.
"The vanishing Face of Gaia" and "The Power Of Now" are my latest reads.
