About Me

CURRENT MISSION

new places, new faces, new reasons to smile, new reasons to shed a tear, new ways to play, new things to say, conquering deep-seated fears

ABOUT ME

Love people who make me laugh, people who make me think, people who make the most of any situation. I am flexible, curious, optimistic, need little sleep (guess I think I'll miss something!), love shiraz or merlot, can stay up all night if the company is good...smoke occasionally (mostly with coffee or wine or other smokers!....and here in Middle East enjoy shisha). I am looking forward to filling my life with new faces and new places.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up,totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming-- WOW! What a ride!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm a newbie!!! looking forward to surfing AND hosting!

Interests

think I've unintentionally been creating a bucket list that never ends so basically new experiences...
I like boating, beach, exploring the non-tourist parts of cities, shopping, sitting at a cafe people-watching.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'll watch or read anything once before judging it. I like music I know the words to but also music that make me tap my foot. Music that means something to others is always special to listen to as well.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I pet a lion!
uprooted myself from suburbian life to teach in the Middle East...

Teach, Learn, Share

You always have a winning hand no matter what cards you're dealt. You just have to know how to play the game.
