About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To gracefully learn more about this earth, and perhaps other worlds within the Goldilocks Zone.

ABOUT ME

Listed age is inaccurate. I'm a lady. We do not reveal age.

Friends would say, "Mostly Harmless, Jeanne's a left-handed artist and shadetree mechanic who does not smoke. We all find that odd."

How does one accurately describe one's self? Baffled!

PHILOSOPHY

Yang Wan Ming said, "To know and to not act is to not know." He's right! Taking action is important. Life is a limited engagement.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Hosting to grow as a person and learn through cultural exchange. Keep trying to find a good time-window to chuck it all and just go surf. Due to a demanding career and fluctuating economy it has yet to happen. CS's been very enlightening and positive. Learn more from people offline than online could possibly offer. I am fortunate enough to live in a place some see as a paradise. Sharing Paradise is fantastic!

NOTE: CS is not a dating website/app. Please realize even Paradise has limitations. Those looking for that sort of paradise are encouraged to explore 'Tumblr' or 'Bumble', or perhaps 'Ashley Madison' in the case of married's looking for, well, that. Do not troll, 'catfish' or request non-CS contact info of me. Doing so will result in an immediate report to CS and possible deactivation of your profile, and no, I am not just kidding.

Interests

Figure skating on the ice, automotive maintenance, bicycling, drawing, sewing, sculpting and cards.
Have one low-allergen breed indoor-only cat.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Met Peter Steele of Type O Negative before he passed away. He was a genuinely nice gentleman. Still devastated by his untimely passing.

Will also never forget late-night dam-sliding with a heavy metal band in Indiana. Would do it again in a heartbeat.

Teach, Learn, Share

Former math tutor at an art school and SPCA volunteer.
