About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Meet New People !!!

ABOUT ME

I'm outgoing, love to meet new people, and love to host!!!

I enjoy cooking, camping, and experiencing life! :)

Writing poetry is a passion of mine and I usually write in rhyming story form based on people and experiences I encounter.

Practicing martial arts has a become a way of life for me and it's guiding me through my spiritual journey.

I looove to cook for people ....and I have been known to stay up all night talking about taboo subjects, philosophies, life's obstacles, and past experiences.

I live in a rural area surrounded by mountains and lakes. Truly a magical place.

PHILOSOPHY

“I am learning to understand rather than immediately judge or to be judged. I cannot blindly follow the crowd and accept their approach. I will not allow myself to indulge in the usual manipulating game of role creation. Fortunately for me, my self-knowledge has transcended that and I have come to understand that life is best to be lived and not to be conceptualized. I am happy because I am growing daily and I am honestly not knowing where the limit lies. To be certain, every day there can be a revelation or a new discovery. I treasure the memory of the past misfortunes. It has added more to my bank of fortitude.” :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I live alone and my couch (your couch) is in it's own room so you have all the privacy you need. There's also a private room available and a detached building with a woodstove ;)
