CURRENT MISSION

To go to Edinburgh and see "Rachael's Cafe", a new play about -ME-! Ok four years have passed. The play and Scotland were great fun.
New mission, to visit London and attend Lucy's wedding( Lucy wrote the play. ) then off too see Europe.

ABOUT ME

A few years back I left the nine-to-five business world to open "Rachael's Cafe", a wonderful little spot in Bloomington, Indiana, near the campus of Indiana University. Our doors are open to anyone and everyone who wants to come in the spirit of love, fun, kindness, and acceptance. Oh, yeah, and we serve a fine cuppa joe as well!

For those interested in hosting me or being hosted by me, you might like to know that Rachael is the ever-more-present alter ego of Eric, the guy that was born in my body. In other words I'm a transgendered woman with a fantastic set of legs, a great smile, and a passport photo that doesn't look a dang bit like me!

PHILOSOPHY

Those who bring sunshine to the lives of others cannot keep it from themselves.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN
I've rented my house for a year and am living in my old motorhome. So unfortunately I'm unable to host at this time. I am traveling and seeing the world. Hope to be hosting next year.
