CURRENT MISSION

To try to be in the moment more, to be present and to find the joy in life. I love to laugh and if you're someone who likes to make people laugh...we should meet.

ABOUT ME

I am full of energy and a creative, and optimistic person. I love watercolor painting and art, history, open mic folk music. I'm passionate about many things like wilderness, rafting, travels-meeting people. I love it when I connect with people.

PHILOSOPHY

You're right where you need to be. Things happen for a reason.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have only had one couchsurfing experience so far. It was great and I am looking forward to many more. I love connecting with people.

Interests

I am very active in my local timebank [timetradecircle.org] and also am the Assistant Director of a small community based art gallery in Cambridge, MA. I am a plein air watercolor painter, and have a small art business. I also am an architect....so i love nature and wilderness, cities and history, country and animals, maple sugaring, beach walking, swimming, snow shoeing, and visiting lots of places... :-)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

-a raft trip in the Arctic National Wildlife Preserve, where we woke to be surrounded by thousands of caribou and their newly born babies in a snowstorm.
-sunrises in the grand canyon, and Bryce Canyon that keep you mesmerized for what seems like hours
-the whale watch trip out of Gloucester where the humpback whales were right near up with their mouths open... amazing creatures

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to paint... maybe :-) I just took an abstract painting class... in an hour I'll have you making art...
I can show you where to find jumping toads and lady slippers...but only if you are here on the exact day it's happening. or some local revolutionary history.

If you want to know how to make a 14' wide dragon fly...you've come to the right place, too.
