About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Life is like a box of chocolates.... ;~)) Most consider me a spiritual person.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm a team player, community minded. Not sure yet how I'll participate here since I'm just registering now haha. As a new couch surfer, it's kind of an ironic question now that I think of it. heheh

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None yet, but my friend recommends it. UPDATE: had one surfing experience, and it went very well! Two more in the works. ;)

Interests

I like socializing, food, music, reading, movies, anything outside, such as hiking, swimming, the beach, etc. I also enjoy staying fit in both outdoor and indoor venues.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm into most music genres, i'm reading "A New Earth" by Eckhart Tolle right now. After 2000 pages of "Pillars of the Earth" and sequel, by Ken Follett. I like most movies, except horror, which I have to hide my eyes for (I know I know....ugh) ;) Woody Allen? Meh.....

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have traveled around North and Central America, the Caribbean, Europe, Asia, Australia. I consider the learning in my travels equally beneficial to my schooled learning. (And it was probably cheaper too haha)

Teach, Learn, Share

I like participating in positive, stimulating conversations. Have always liked learning about other's lives and homes. This is one of the joys of traveling...being able to learn about others and share their experiences. My motto is that if you can't travel full time yourself, you might as well travel vicariously through other people, eh? So...bring it on!!

Countries I’ve Visited

Australia, Austria, Belize, Canada, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Fiji, Germany, Greece, Guatemala, Italy, Mexico, Netherlands, South Korea, Thailand, United Kingdom, United States, Vatican City State
