ABOUT ME

Me and my rescue dogs. Passionate about taking care of the planet. My large gatherings of loud passionate young people protest days are behind me. I gently nudge those near me in the way that I am certain is the best for all of us. I sign petitions. I volunteer with a literacy group teaching English as a second language. 2012 I volunteer at our community garden.
I talk with school children about taking care of our planet.
I am an old hippie

PHILOSOPHY

People to people. It's the only way to make it work. There is room on this planet for all of us.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have hosted many travelers over the past five years. Most are here to see Mesa Verde National Park.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Hosteling trip through Europe. Hitch-hiked with sis and another woman to Canada and around western US (1971) Have only hosted so far, but that is about to change...And change it did. I surfed three couches in Ireland, four couches in England and there is not enough room here to explain the difference between couch surfing and traveling with a tour book. Hints: free hugs campaign, doolin, Ireland, not even on my map....oh and Stacey the labrador
