CURRENT MISSION

Finding the not-so-average in the average - and smiling. Smiling's my favorite.

ABOUT ME

Lived in the US and traveled domestically for 30 years. Then got an offer to move across the planet to Bali, Indonesia and live and work with a couple cool guys on some inspiring projects. Haven't looked back. Thrive on new experiences and finding beauty and happiness in the simplest things everyday.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't be a jerk

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

When I'm home, my couch is free for crashing. Also will meet up with just about anyone who wants to chat over coffee, nasi campur, or a cold Bintang in a bean bag on the beach.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Have met up with some awesome CSers and gone on some great adventures. Have hosted guests at our place, but none directly from CouchSurfing (yet)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Less than 3 weeks after moving to a foreign country after having never left my home state in the US I was in a nasty motorbike accident. Due to complications from infection just 2 weeks later I was having major emergency surgery on my knee in an Indonesian hospital. Made it through, recovered like a champ, and stuck out the adventure even though going home and curling up in my Mommy's lap sounded like a REALLY good option at times.
