Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm hosting. Please send me a couch request over a plain message. If you decide to send a couch surfing request via message instead of the provided request form you may not get a response.
I'm a busy single mom who freelances, so it is best to assume you will be here and independent/ on your own. If we can spend time together in a relaxed free form way, that would be lovely too.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

The people I have hosted have been lovely, interesting, kind, thoughtful, and sweet. I couldn't ask for more and I hope it stays that way since it affirms that some of the best things in life are free.

being outdoors, nature, good music, travel, intimate conversations with dynamic and funny people. Exploring. Zombie movies.

Music, Movies, and Books

ok, I work mostly in design and visual effects. I studied great film makers and artists, but at the end of the day I'm always looking for a great zombie movie. I admit it... I love zombies. The flip side of zombies is that I love reading metaphysical, philosophical, spiritual books that question our existence, why we are here, and what our purpose is.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

its hard to say there is ONE thing. But... while in South Africa I decided to do what was then the tallest bungee jump in the world... as my very first jump. I was smiling the whole time I waited. I envisioned my grace and enthusiasm. As soon as I looked over the edge I flailed my hands around like a flightless bird and yelped that they could keep my money. I didn't need to go anymore. they pushed me over- and I LOVED IT.
That's my life really. I think I want to do something, then I want to back out, then I do it and its great (usually- or a great story/ memory)

Teach, Learn, Share

teach? hmmm, I don't feel qualified to teach anything but I'm a great listener. Learn: I'd love to learn about you and your unique point of view in life. Share: Sharing is magical really. Lets make it up as we go along.
