About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Hanging out with the family until the next adventure...

ABOUT ME

How tedious to describe oneself! I smile - alot. I am both a night owl and a morning bird which irritates the heck out of some people. I am most alive when I am outside. I like to learn new things and drive my children to distraction because I don't filter my excitement of the 'new thing'. I like to bake and can spend hours reading recipe books. I have been known to read the dictionary for pleasure... Injustice of all types makes me crazy and I have to fight against absorbing other's pain.

PHILOSOPHY

"To injure no man, but to bless all mankind."
I stole this mission statement from one of my favorite newspapers because it fits me...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I signed up for couchsurfing right before leaving for Morocco for a year on the advice of a friend. Initially, I was somewhat nervous but after hosting a few amazing individuals, I was all in!!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

The fellow travelers that I've met through the CouchSurfing experience have restored my (somewhat flagging) optimism about the milk of human kindness still eddying about.

Interests

I teach and bake and read and act randomly with kindness.

  • books
  • reading

Music, Movies, and Books

Yes!! All of them!!! =) Just finished pulling an all-nighter reading 'The Hunger Games'- basically youth fiction but I got pulled in. Also spent a delightful evening with the author of 'Mink River' which is a rarity on many levels (meaning the book, not my social abilities).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once saw the Himalayans, etched against a background of brilliant blue, floating in a sea of clouds....

Teach, Learn, Share

I enjoy all kinds of people... TRUTH!
