I love tavel and am very fond of meeting new people!!! It has been two years since I have been touring the world and I miss it tremendously! For the time being, I will have to live vicariously through the people who come and visit from other parts of the world.

I am self employed and work my butt off through the summer months. This year I'm working on a few house projects/renovations, which unfortunately means that I only have one small couch available for guests.

My two daughters are all but grown up and completing their final year at UVic.

I participate in many sports, love my hockey and getting out to the mountains whenever I can.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

From travelling, participating in CS and visiting with others to having entertained CS's who have stayed in my home, I can honestly say that I hope life is filled with similar experiences. I hope to take advantage of all the possibilities associated with CS.

Travelling is certainly a bond that creates such interesting conversations between those of us who are able to experience it.

Interests

Music, music and more music!!! I am a beginner guitar and piano player. I would love to have the time to take that interest to new levels... but more importantly, I love to dance! Have taken many dance lessons over the last few years and it's finally paying off. I am physically active. Into just about anything. Hockey, badminton, hiking, snow boarding etc...

Music, Movies, and Books

I have read a lot more in the last year than ever before... from science fiction to biographies. "The Power of Now". Since reading, my interest has grown and I now spend a little time in meditation and actively seeking classes or holistic experiences.

My taste in Music is varied, from bg band swing music to classical, rock and the grung of the late 80-90's.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The birth of my beautiful daughters!!! NOTHING could be the equal.

What happens when COMMUNITY becomes a central focus! Powerful!

Teach, Learn, Share

My last year has been full of "Teach, Learn and Share". I was able to be part of a self development course called "Choices" some years ago, where I learned about dealing with life's challenges. In the last 6 months, I was able to assist in the facilitation and coaching of this program and I watched how people benefitted and grew through the process! Unbelievable! I now open my doors for others to come share experiences and learn about awareness and action in their own lives!

Countries I’ve Visited

Argentina, Belgium, Brazil, Cambodia, Canada, Cuba, England, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Mexico, Netherlands, Netherlands Antilles, Northern Ireland, Portugal, Scotland, Spain, Switzerland, Thailand, United Kingdom, United States, Vatican City State, Wales
