CURRENT MISSION

learn from people of other cultures

ABOUT

I split my time between living in New Orleans, AND traveling the world.

People fascinate me, all types of people. I love to share experiences and points of view. I admire people who can be away from "home" traveling for a year or more.

PHILOSOPHY

share and you will learn

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I enjoy hosting very much.  Occasionally I surf and I have met incredible people every place I've visited during my journeys.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Before couchsurfing even existed, in a blizzard in Oregon, car wouldn't go any further, just knocked on someones door, they were SO gracious.
In Tzintzuntzan,Mexico, 20 years after my first visit and there's still no hotel,asked around among the shop keepers, ended up staying at the mayor's house, the señora was so sweet!

Interests

World travel, to meet people who are open minded and open hearted; who like to laugh and make a connection.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Pick two or three moments that left you awestruck. What were they?

Those would have been moments when I was younger, I am not so easily awestruck anymore.
I have extensively traveled the world, and I am fascinated and my mind is blown by the kindness and generosity of strangers as I travel this beautiful planet.
