PHILOSOPHY

The Golden Rule

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love to host folk from outside the USA. I hope to show that Americans are not as greedy and selfish as our reputation would have us be. If you are afraid of dogs my home would be a challenge for you.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I traveled to Ashville to visit the Biltmore at Christmas. Something I had been wanting to do for years but could not afford without a Couch Surfer host willing to let me stay during the holiday.

Interests

I am interested in dogs and rescuing those unfortunate enough to have bad homes. I have begun to travel in tour guided groups.

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite movie is Francis Ford Coppola's Black Stallion. Visually stunning, it does not need a lot in rambling dialog to get the point across.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

my first teaching job was in a one room schoolhouse on the Standing Rock Indian Reservation in South Dakota.

Teach, Learn, Share

I used to be quite good at knitting before I lost some mental focus due to MS.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Time and enthusiasm for cultural exchange.

Countries I’ve Visited

Austria, Canada, Germany, Iceland, Ireland

Countries I’ve Lived In

United States
