I am a world traveller. I enjoy people.

I live in a condo overlooking the Pacific in Long Beach, California with access to the beach and other amenities of downtown Long Beach.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Life is fascinating and I like meeting it head on learning as I go along. I am in excellent health and want to take advantage of all the possibilities of meeting new and interesting people and the places they live in. Learning all I can is my game.

Interests

I do not tolerate drugs of any kind including cigarettes and alcohol. Otherwise I am interested in learning about everything. At home I have a teen-age girl so I am very selective as to who I allow in my home.

• writing
• books
• beaches

Music, Movies, and Books

I love movies but hate scary ones: I really think and feel those horrible things are actually happening to me!
I love to read and write.
I love to travel!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of the most amazing things I've done is to be the mother of 17 children, eleven of them adopted. I love kids. I only have one child, almost 18, still living at home.

I recently returned from being Catholic missionary in Bolivia for three years where I worked with the street kids and other wonderful volunteers most of them atheists.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am the author of 18 published books of several genres.

What I Can Share with Hosts

An interesting personality, an open heart and a story-teller's charm.
