TRAVELS are the best teachers, and I am a forever student . A widow, ( recently engaged) vegan, a traveling Interior designer, non-smoker, a volunteer, a mentor ; a public speaker, an animal activist ; tango dancer, a single mother of a poodle - bichon , very interested in integrative ways of healing.

I always have chocolate in the cupboard, tea in the kettle. I will always be here...and if I'm busy, which you all know I often am, call and I'll call you back soon as I can ...You are always welcome!! Just come over!! Kids welcome!! Pets welcomed ( in special the ones that can vouch for you 8-)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When you meet new people you embrace growth, you change , you rediscover yourself, and make new friendship that marks a life even more deeply than love relationship . In my book, friendship is nothing but sharing. And those who bring sunshine into the life of others, can't keep it from themselves , so those are the people you wanna stay close to!!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once helped a butterfly out of its cocoon . Volunteered at animal shelter. I got a hummingbird on my shoulder...I changed couple of kids destinies.

As a child I brought home stray cats and dogs, slept with a baby lamb on my pillow, and fixed a star, on the curtain in a show.

We are all created equal with special gifts and if we reach out to each other in sharing this gifts, we all become richer in the same moment!!

Teach, Learn, Share

Teaching : I can show you how to fold origami napkin , to do a dish or two, yet I am vegan. I can show you how colors and lights can play tricks on you .
I can show you beginner level Salsa . I can yodel and draw a bird. I can sketch and dog-whisper to your cat. I can make bubbles from soap and teach you to dream big and that health is your only wealth.

Learning : I haven't met one single person that I can't learn something from!

Sharing: Infinitely more important than sharing one's material wealth is sharing the wealth of ourselves - our time and energy, our passion and commitment, and, above all, our love !

What I Can Share with Hosts

The miracle is this : The more we share, the more we have. There is the greatest joy : Is giving ! it's thrilling, it's simply exhilarating !!!

Life has thought me that respect, carrying and love , must be shared, cause sharing it's the way the best friendships are born !
