About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Be me, enjoy the world and other human beings with whom I share it. Teach, travel and have fun doing it!

ABOUT ME

I am peace loving, lighthearted, honest and a scrapper. I love all kinds of people. I love to learn. I love sharing my experiences and I am a good listener too.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is exactly what we make of it! It is not about having what we want, but rather, wanting what we have.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am sort of new here, but I can cook a nice meal for you, Rick can barbecue a mean steak (we are in beef country)! We will make you feel right at home.

We can offer you a place to lay your head for a night or two and help you get where you're going.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Have hosted several like minded wonderful couchsurfers so far...very fun!

I spent last summer (2010) surfing France and Italy with my son Michael. It was a time I will never forget and an experience of fantastic people and fabulous places. I now have friends on the other side of the world and I love them all!

Interests

I love my occupation. I cannot imagine my life without the kids (although time off is an absolute necessity)!

Music is very important to my soul. I do like all kinds of music but mostly pop/rock...Billy Joel, U2, The Band, the Doors, Goo Goo Dolls, Third Eye Blind, Train, Sara Mclaughlin, so many more!

I love meeting new people and traveling to new places, cooking Italian...especially for those who have not experienced it. I also love to try new foods. Love to share laughs, experiences...and just have fun living.

Music, Movies, and Books

I am very visual, love to watch movies. Love-need coffee when I wake up. Music, dancing, traveling, laughing with friends.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing thing I've done...have kids, raise them, then let them loose :) Oh...and visit Pompeii!

Now that I have surfed some couches in Europe, I can add that to my amazing list!

Teach, Learn, Share

What I can teach: Well...I am a teacher. I guess I can teach some of the English language, some guitar, to cook Italian, some math, patience.

To Learn: Anything you will teach me. I love to learn. Favorite things - dance, songs, culture, food.
