I'm energetic, adventurous, love people and learning from and about them and their cultures. Love learning in general and gaining new perspectives. Have a zest and freshness for life. I have 3 boys - two of them live in New Zealand, one in Baltimore, MD. Two years ago remarried after many years.

Passionate about cooking! Total Foodie - Mostly International foods. Have many friends from various countries - kind of adopted by their family and culture. :)

Love music of most sorts and dancing. Play piano and violin (although not as practiced now :( but creating a schedule to include this love into my life again. Also learning African drumming and LOVE it!!

I've done a lot of travelling throuhout my life. What I would love to do, if I have the oportunity, is to live in different countries for about three months at a time and be among the people- learning their culture, cooking, etc. - assimilating into their community.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
