Love history, art, reading, outdoors, festivals, and traveling. I believe in actions not words when it comes to loving family, justice, natural resources. I am open- minded and compassionate; devoted to making this world a better place by helping others, educating the community, and sharing information.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet other like-minded individuals who can supply my fix for intelligent and interesting conversation. I live for daytrips to participate with different cultures and throw myself into art, architecture, history, or nature. I am usually the only person in my rural area who finds my favorite events, books, or movies interesting so I attend alone or with halfhearted people; it can be challenging.

I would love to share information a out my area to others and provide a resting spot for travelers.

Interests

Genealogy, History, Sustainable Farming, Mentoring which leads to life coaching, scholarship searches, and college trips. I believe no one should be "stuck" so I read and research a lot and share info like crafting class at nearby library, free college music recitals, online/ cc courses.

I like to say I can teach anyone and I have the patience of Job but times have made me selective in who I teach and impatient with ignorance and intolerance.
