I live in Beautiful BC in a forest very near an ocean beach, walking trails, biking, hiking and swimming in summer. Scuba Diving is year round. There is a huge quarry and 2 huge lakes easy to get to. TransCanada Trail is also easy and best biking around. Brentwood College Regatta is happening this weekend for sailing boats and racing. There will be tons of people booking rooms and lots left out, so I am offering up a den with a double futon.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would love to meet new people, help them have an awesome weekend and vacation. I love to travel and am retired now so I have lots of time to go places, but not much money. I think the world is getting to be a better place where more people are willing to share what they have and not expect to become rich in the process. I want to be part of that new world. Sharing and caring. We are all in this together so let's see what we can create.

Interests

I love reading, writing and watching good movies. I paint, draw and write songs. I love to sing and sound like Joni Mitchel. I have a garden and spend all day out there weeding and watering. My favourite hike is up the mountain. We have gorgeous swimming holes all around here and I love to swim. Taking a person and/or family out for the day on a sightseeing tour would be fantastic.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like everything except the war movies and needless violence. Mysteries are ok. Mostly I like to watch nature shows and documentaries. I am reading Rebecca Hazell's book three "Consolamentum" right now, almost finished it. The Tiger and the Dove series.I want to see Eye in the Sky and Lady in the Van.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I ran the 100 yard dash in record breaking time. I did a triple flip style jump for my B license. I survived a serious car accident. I saved an old lady from dying of a heart attack. I saved 2 children from choking to death. I died and came back to life.

Teach, Learn, Share

This is what it's all about. I teach what I know to those who want to listen. I learn every day something new. I share everything I have with those who do not take advantage of it and are kind in return.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have a lovely singing voice and am friendly and easy-going. I can share my gentle, kind, and sweet disposition. I am good with children and in emergencies. I am a good cook and love food.
