About Me

I have been married, reared my husbands three boys and then our two boys who are now 26 & 27. I consider myself an interesting, loving, caring individual who loved to be a homemaker and am a bit sad that they have all left the nest so to speak. I volunteer now with the Swiss Red Cross and pride myself in keeping a clean, warm, cozy home. I studied communications and fashion marketing at Lindenwood University in St. Charles, MO but have lived in Zurich, Switzerland for the last 23 years. This is home now and I live in paradise.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I now have the ability and desire to get to know new people and help when I can. I would also like to do a bit of traveling too.

Interests

I love watching documentaries and comedy shows like "Live at the Apollo".
I am an avid gardener and love flowers and flower arranging.
Reading is also one of my hobbies and I prefer biographies and novels based on truths. However I did read 50 Shades of Grey. Curiosity got the better of me.lol

Music, Movies, and Books

I love most music and I have played the piano in my youth and have one in the dining room.
Hard rock however is a bit heavy for me but jazz, r&b, & pop I do enjoy.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I accepted the responsibility of three children nine months after I married. They were seven year old twins and an eleven year old. Twins without stretch marks. Lol
On a lighter note I flew in a helicopter from Nice to Monte Carlo with Roger Moore. That was pretty amazing but a short flight and very noisy.
