CURRENT MISSION

"Be the change you want to see." Ghandi

ABOUT ME

Idealistic and optimistic to a fault. Passionate about everything I do... mediocrity is a dirty word. Sensitive seeker of meaning. In a word fight, you want me on your side. Loyal friend, loyal heart. Good secret-keeper. Spiritual - in a global sense

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am looking forward to my first authentic couch surfing experiences this summer, while backpacking through Central Europe with my daughter, Madeleine.

Interests

Sing all the time, but slightly off key, dabble with guitar and songwriting, write pretty good poetry (if I say so myself), animal lover, avid reader, skier, love the outdoors; Love Indie Films as opposed to mainstream, being in nature gets me high, looking at stars puts things in perspective, animals help us practice loving, Love art that lifts my heart and spirit, Live music sometimes feels like a spirtual experience.
