I am a retired red-head who is very independent and self reliant. For the last 20 years I have been heavily involved with teaching, directing, and producing children's theatre. I have been a drama teacher in public and catholic schools for 15 of those years. I travel but my home base is in Loreto Mexico. I have two grown children and a Shetland Sheepdog named Piper.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am trying out couchsurfing as a way to keep expenses down as I journey to California for a yoga retreat. I will be spending very little time in one place and would like to be out and about exploring the area. I am very neat and organized and travel light. My needs are few and I will try not to take up much space or time in your home but appreciate a safe and friendly environment.

Interests

I practice yoga and meditation techniques as part of my daily regime. I love to hike and bike and travel to see new parts of the world and meet new people.

Music, Movies, and Books

Reading Autobiography of a Yogi

Just finished Netflix 'Emily in Paris'

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Besides giving birth to two 10 lb. babies, I guess directing a musical with over 100 students ages 10 - 14 this year ranks pretty high.

Also running a marathon in 2000 and staying married for over 37 years, which is about the same thing.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have possibly the best chocolate chip cookie recipe in the world.

Countries I’ve Visited

Austria, Canada, England, France, Germany, Italy, Mexico, Scotland, Switzerland
