CURRENT MISSION

Enjoying life, having fun, going on adventures, meeting interesting people, searching for great pool table venues, frisbee partners, and boogie board waves.

ABOUT ME

A considerate, caring, open-minded person who respects the feelings of others and can communicate on a deep level...or add an amusing quip to light-hearted snappy patter. Always have a positive attitude and enjoy everything from a casual cup of coffee to a trip to the other side of the world.

PHILOSOPHY

"In every adversity there are the seeds of an even greater opportunity." Or as Mom always said, "There's a silver lining in every cloud."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Being open to any adventure.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Thought this might be a way to meet interesting people from around the world by hosting, trying a couch, or "meeting for coffee." Have had five surfers stay and met one in town. All have been great experiences.

Interests

I love the arts: music of all kinds, festivals and events, concerts, theater, dance, art exhibits. Love to learn/do anything new. A friendly pool game, frisbee toss, explore around town, or walk in the country, is always great. Love seeing and showing interesting local places that most tourists would never find.

Music, Movies, and Books

Favorite Movies - "Brainstorm" and "Ghandi." Enjoy a wide variety of music but Favorite Song is still "Sugar Magnolia." Favorite concert - "Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Concert" at Madison Square Garden. Favorite Book - "The Good Earth" (Pulitzer Prize Winning novel about man's search for meaning).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Delivering a baby girl (now my Godchild) and saving a young girl from drowning are the most "amazing" things done.

Seeing the newborn face close-up as I tried to make sure her mouth was clear of "gunk" so she could breathe was the most amazing thing seen.

Teach, Learn, Share

Could teach simple practical method for handling stress. Could consult on practicality of a business idea and point in the right direction to get to the next step. Could teach basic to intermediate photography.
