CURRENT MISSION

After waking from a "life coma" almost 10 years ago, my life mission has become to see and experience and feel all that life has to offer...and never to fall asleep or go on "auto-pilot" ever again!!

ABOUT ME

I am a writer, photographer, artist and teacher who believes that life is short and to be experienced to the fullest. I am passionate about my life and my loved ones.

PHILOSOPHY

"I have lived a great deal among grown-ups. I have seen them intimately,close at hand. And that hasn't much improved my opinion of them." Antoine de Saint-Exupery

"Amazing things happen easily, frequently and abundantly."

"What...the...f***?" II

“Sensitivity isn’t being wimpy; it’s about being so painfully aware that a flea landing on a dog is like a sonic boom.” Jeff Buckley

"See the path cut by the moon, for you to walk on...See the waves on distant shores, awaiting your arrival...Dream the dreams of other men, you'll be no one's rival..." Eddie Vedder

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I "social host". Because I work full time and do not usually have space to offer a couch, I love to offer time to spend with other CSers, who come to my city. We can go out for a drink or lunch or a walkabout the town. I am more than happy to share my experiences about the place I live, what to see and even introduce you to my friends.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I am a lot less comfortable financially now, but I have never been happier!!
