About Me

CURRENT MISSION

stay young for as long as possible

ABOUT ME

I live in the city of Winnipeg with my husband.I married my high school sweetheart nearly 36 years ago. We are country people at heart. My neighbour and I have lived next door to each other for 26 years. Neighbours by chance, friends by choice is what we say.I have many long term friendships. Family, friends and faith are important to me.I love to help people and advocate for them. I think you can always count on me for help.

PHILOSOPHY

Do unto others as you would have others do unto you. This sounds easy, but it's not

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

couch surfing is the best, I love meeting people.I'm very happy my daughter talked me into it. We have met the best people and that would only been possible through couch surfing, and truly that would have been our loss
