Fun, loving, joyful, passionate woman who LOVES people, culture, psychology, anthropology, literature, languages, cats, music, reading, travel, hiking, hot tubs, hot springs, nature, being and feeling free! I am a mother of 2 teenage boys, who live with me 50% of the time. When they're not here, we have room to host. I LOVE FOOD and cooking. I love being artistic, especially with others, in acting, singing, creating workshops, books... Whatever we want to create. I love to play but don't let myself often enough because I'm a recovering codependent perfectionist.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

Because my boyfriend and his sister recommended it, and we love travel and people, so why not? Seems like the perfect solution to a regular problem 😁

兴趣

Really I'm just fascinated with people and their stories. How they see the world. Whether or not it works for them. Where they live. How they live. How they relate. I love to study people, to get to know people, to understand and figure out people. I also love to share about myself openly. I dont have anything to hide. I wish the world could be like that. We are all on these beautiful, unique journeys. I love to discover other's journeys and learn from others. Along with people comes art, music, theatre, movies, stories... Any way for people to show the depth of the human heart.

音乐、电影和书籍

Oh boy. I could make this list 50 paragraphs long...
Let's sum it up with
Music: Yes
Books: Yes
Movies: Yes
Just kidding. Here's a real summary.
Music: Anything but Rap, and some 50s-70s... Like... Disco? No thank you. And, I dont mind rap with a story, but all the cussing and derogatory words turns my nose up. I cuss like a sailor, so I don't know why this bothers me so much. Maybe because I'd like it to have more of a story, or some lyrics that actually say something. I like art. Not just the same vulgar phrase repeated over and over with the same beat in the back, over and over. Love most classical, especially the intense stuff, like Carl Orff, Debussy, Chopin. Love 80s music. 90s pop, alternative and some grunge. Like techno, electronic, remixes. Love the older folk music, Allison Krause, Indigo Girls, Brandi Carlile... Country, old blues, some new blues, but don't like the jazz that sounds like people are dropping items in an auto mechanics garage. LOVE MUSICALS, especially singing them. And karaoke. Love the good old gospel with 8 parts, and the old baroque 16-part choirs.

BOOKS: wow... So many. Here's a summary

Relationship self help: Gottman 7 Principles for Making Marriage Work AND Getting The Love You Want by Harville Hendrix/Hunt. Codependent No More (1st version, don't like the new one) by Melody Beattie.

Bodymind: Good old book... She doesn't love it anymore because she has so much new research but it changed my life: Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom by Christiane Northrup. Celestine Prophesy. The Alchemist 😁.

Money: Napoleon Hill: Think And Grow Rich, and Outwitting the Devil. T. Harv Eker, The Millionaire Mind. The Automatic Millionaire (author?)

For Fun... Too many books to list

Movies: love the old 80s movies. Princess Bride. Pretty Woman. Marvel comics movies. Amelie. HATE SCARY/ HORROR/ GORY MOVIES!

教，学，和分享

I can TEACH: self-love. Self-care. Psychology. I have a collection of psychological theories and patterns of human behavior. I'm very intuitive combined with an analytical, scientific, research-based mind.

I can TEACH basic piano and music theory.

LEARN: I want to learn languages (I'm partially fluent in French. Want to learn Spanish and Italian and German next)

I want to learn more about COOKING! Especially Indian and Thai cooking! I studied with a French chef, but now we eat mostly organic, plant based so French cooking is useless (butter, flour, cream and sugar 😂).

I want to learn about people and culture! I want to learn how people make successful, happy marriages last years without affairs?? I want to learn how to make passive income!

I want to learn the CELLO!! Can you teach me how to hold the bow? I have a cello!

I'm happy to share anything about myself. I'm very open.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

LOVE! ❤🙏 I LOVE people! I am helpful and clean up after myself. I cook. I sing. If I'm not tired, I can massage (but its been my profession 20 years and usually when I'm on break, I let my hands rest). I don't interfere unless asked. I don't even give advice unless asked! I'm a great listener. Very introspective. If they want, I can influence their life GREATLY for more joy, love, abundance, influence & healthy relationships! I've been studying it my whole life & still learning more!
