CURRENT MISSION

sailing on life's current

ABOUT ME

I am fun-loving and keep my eye on the sky. I strive to look for the good, positive aspects that bring about smiles, hugs and plenty of laughter. I am grateful for my life. I keep that mind when I think things aren't going well. An open mind and heart are what I hope to share with others.

PHILOSOPHY

The Universe is working with me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Getting here has taken too long, so I hope to host as much as I can. While not teaching, it would be my pleasure to show people around my city and cook together.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

People have been generous to me all my life. I have tried to be the same in return and am thrilled to have found another way to continue to pass on the generosity. Of course, meeting fun and interesting people along the way just happens to be one of the wonderful benefits of generosity!

Interests

Bicycling, being outdoors, landscaping, walking, hiking, thinking, seeing shows, spending time with friends, conversing with new people, writing a little, photography, traveling when I have the means.
