About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to nurture a more beautiful world and connect!

ABOUT ME

We are former communards, into classical music, visual arts, organic gardening, home cooking, old houses, singing, green life style. I garden everyday at home and in some clients' gardens and in some volunteer public gardens, and I sell some of my home-grown produce at the Saturday Farmers Market.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is about connecting with other people, with yourself, with God, with trees and flowers and bugs. The first step is being "interested" more than being "interesting".

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have hosted lots of CouchSurfers and I have surfed five times. Alas, we have to turn down lots of requests because we have agreed to take only one party per week, and lots of people want to come visit our lovely city.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We just had our first surfers--two delightful women from Germany. We enjoyed having them.
June '10: Since starting having CS guests, we have had wonderful experiences, and particularly with our European guests.
April '12: I just got back from Europe and had wonderful times with Surfer hosts in London and Paris.

Interests

Art, Music, Dance, selling at the farmer's market, singing in my church choir, Cooking ( I had my own restaurant in the 80's), throwing an occasional dinner party, showing people around my garden, touring other gardens, traveling, being with my family, and more!!!
