CURRENT MISSION

I wish to mix what I know and love with what I don't yet know but might potentially love.

ABOUT ME

"There is no point in understanding the Universe if you are alone." ~ Paulo Coelho ~ or so says couchsurfing.org.
Colorado Springs has been good to me the past year and change. There's too much packed into this square, with visual delights never far.
I learned to love wine after moving to Monterey County. I continue to be awed by the gracious splendor that can be found anywhere, whether inside a burned out redwood tree or atop Pikes Peak on a chilly summer day. I'm 5'7'' but wear high heels anyway. Broccoli is one of my most favorite foods. I will challenge anyone to a handstand contest. Walking (or hiking as the season permits) is my favorite hobby.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe this topic is better left discussed in person when one of us is couchsurfing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hope to offer others the chance to experience the area I call home. I will be a resource for those who are out traveling when I am unable to do so. I hope to deepen my understanding of other places and cultures.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Many couches have had my name on them for a few nights at a time. I have never lived for more than a week on a couch. I usually prefer the floor.
