CURRENT MISSION

Developing my relationship with my incredible 27 year young horse.

ABOUT ME

I am respectful of and interested in all different cultures and types of people.
Love animals, especially cats and horses.
I want to preserve habitat and the earth's resources.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is so living and learning.
We all have something to teach and we all have lessons we need to learn.
As the little kids I teach would say, "Be nice."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Our family has hosted many couch surfers and I enjoy their energy and philosophies and passionsl. One special experience was hosting two men from Taiwan who were attending a Joint Meeting of Ichthyologists and Herpetologists. They shared their research presentations with our family and then treated us to a tea ceremony. Another special time was taking a young man from Belgium to a mock debate during a presidential election. Then he and my daughter made Halloween costumes and went trick-or-treating.

Interests

Horses, especially Parelli Natural Horsemanship.
Protecting animals - both wild and domestic.
Protecting habitat and resources.
