CURRENT MISSION

To meet people all over the world and make new friends.

ABOUT ME

I'm 55 years old but not sure how I got this old when I still feel like I'm 25. I love to talk to people! I like hearing their stories and telling them mine.

My passions are food and cooking, and I'm on a mission in 2011 to travel the world in search of natural foods and remedies. My website, The Global Forager (http://globalforager.com), tells more about this.

PHILOSOPHY

Everything always works out in the end. If it hasn't worked out, it's not the end.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've been a member for 3 years now, but haven't participated yet. It is my intention to get more involved with the community and meet couchsurfers as I travel the world this year.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I stayed at a youth hostel in Scotland in exchange for helping out around the place. Did a little massage, a little Reiki for some extra cash. Not specifically couchsurfing, but along the lines of.

教，学，和分享

I'm a pretty good cook, and am fairly knowledgeable about nutrition and low-carb diets.

I call myself the Grammar Queen. For the past 4 1/2 yrs I've tutored university students in English writing skills, and edited/proofed many papers, including doctoral dissertations.

Also for the past few years have tutored English conversation for international students, so I can help ESL learners to understand the intricacies and idiosyncrasies of the English language (American version).
