CURRENT MISSION

40-something pseudo blonde, trying to find her place in this wild, sometimes cruel world.

ABOUT ME

I'm a bit of a hooligan at times! Way to soft (but I'd rather be too soft than too hard). Been told I drive like a cowboy. Love a bottle of good red wine. Have a genuine love for people - most especially those people who have not had an easy life.

PHILOSOPHY

Karma is a bitch! - Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've been fortunate enough to travel quite a bit in my life, and think that it's true when they say "having the means to travel, but never doing so, is like owning the best novel ever written, but never reading further than the 1st page"! If I can assist any person to experience "life out there", then I'm happy to offer them a couch!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Hosted Guests from Germany and the USA. Never surfed myself.

Interests

Love music, travel, food & coffee (which HAS TO be a religion somewhere in the world .... surely??) I love animals (but NOT snakes!!) If you want my attention, then tell me how & what you have done to help & improve the lives of those less fortunate than you - I'm NOT impressed by your bank balance or the flashy car you drive.

Music, Movies, and Books

Not much into movies. Love books. Adore jazz and moody bluesy background stuff.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Fontana de Trevi, Rome, Italy ... the thunderous roar of the water was just too magnificant for words.
Carlov Most (Charles' Bridge) Prague, Czech Republic. Early morning mist. Moved me to tears.
Eiffel Tower, Paris, France - late afternoon - watching the lights of Paris come on as the sun went down - too beautiful for words.

Teach, Learn, Share

I enjoy people that like to challenge their minds - people who think out of the box - compassionate people. I enjoy learning "life" from another's point of view.

Countries I’ve Visited

Argentina, Austria, Czech Republic, France, Italy, Singapore, Spain, Thailand, Turkey, United Kingdom, Uruguay
