CURRENT MISSION

My mission....to be older, smarter, wealthier and hopefully thinner! lol

ABOUT ME

About me...I have worn many hats in my life. I am currently helping out my parents as my mom's memory is going. For three years I was a single mother of several teenagers depending on the day. I regularly hosted exchange students and welcome all their friends into our house.
In my youth I traveled with Canada World Youth, the Summer Language Bursary Program and Up With People. I have stayed with over 100 host families in 10 countries. I always enjoyed meeting new people and making new friends.

PHILOSOPHY

The world is my classroom and everyone I meet is a teacher!

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have been hosting and surfing for five years now and love every minute of it.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have been hosted in Canada, all over the USA, Mexico, Sweden, Finland, England, Germany, The Netherlands, Belgium, and Thailand.

One of the most memorable hosts that I stayed with was a single mom with two children in Sweden. I asked her why she was hosting and her response was this..."I can't afford to take my kids to see the world right now. The least I can do is to bring the world to meet my kids". I think that just about says it all.

Interessen

I like to watch movies, read and hang out together in my house. I love board games, card games and always a game of pool. I like to say that one of my hobbies are crafts...but sometimes I think that the hobby is more collecting craft supplies. ;)

Musik, Filme und Bücher

I'm almost ashamed to admit that my weakness are those cheezy save the world (or one corner of the world) from ending movies...Armageddon, The Day After Tomorrow, The Rock etc. But don't tell anyone. ;)
I love to read when I'm not bogged down reading papers, assignments and textbooks. Mostly crime/CSI fiction.

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

Just one thing...? There are far too many to choose from.

Lehren, lernen, teilen

I can teach just about every craft out there, how to shoot pool and how to use a computer.
