CURRENT MISSION

To meet interesting, refreshing people

ABOUT ME

I look and act a lot younger than I am. Have lived many places in the U.S. I have a son who has lived in China since 2001, and I have visited there four times.
I'm a longtime musician -- played professionally in a duo and in a girl band for about a dozen years (flute, keyboards, fiddle, voice).
I write a column occasionally for the place where I live and work.
I've done some paragliding; that was fun!

PHILOSOPHY

I am here to experience life as I see it, without judgment, but with wonder and joy and compassion.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I live in a beautiful valley in Colorado, near Loveland. Unfortunately, I can't accept guests where I live right now.
I enjoy meeting fascinating people from around the U.S.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted many wonderful, interesting people and have been spoiled with my experiences surfing others' couches, too.

Interests

Music (mostly soothing, spacey, trancey stuff), consciousness/awareness a la Eckhart Tolle, Ken Wilber, Integral philosophy, etc.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Visited China four times. Awesome!
Paragliding. Scary and liberating.
Skydiving -- won't ever do that again, but, WOW!
Played music in a girl band at several military clubs in Hawaii ... lots of fun.

Teach, Learn, Share

Well, I've been around the block a few times. Boy, have I got stories to tell. I'm old. So, if you like experience, here I am.
I might have something to say about spirituality and consciousness, grace and compassion, culture and evolution.
