ABOUT ME

I've been a teaching for the last three years and this is the first time that I don't have to look for a job for he next school year. Taking advantage of this chance I am going to a yoga teacher training at the Sivananda Ashram and Yoga Camp outside of Montreal, Quebec. And since I've never been east of Cleveland Ohio I decided to add in a tour adventure of some popular and historic east coast cities. And why not go to a contra dance weekend. Traveling so far has allowed me to see my senabiliry and sense of adventure.

PHILOSOPHY

Ummm dancing! Mostly contra, but I also like blues, square, and unstructured waltzing. Gender free preferred.

I've done a little rock climbing without the harnesses.

Yoga

Cooking/baking

Foraging for food

Watching music videos of all genres on utube!!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I like to serve other in whatever way that is needed in range of the capacities that I have. I like to cook and I miss it since I've been on the road. I like to assist in making things look brand new or organized like weeding the garden, washing the dishes, or putting your yarn stash in boxes for later. And I am pretty good wih using a hammer.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have couch surfed but not through couch surfing.com. But With the friend of friends or relatives that I've stayed with I've always huges them goodbye and offered my couch to them when they come to my area.
I am 5'7" so I do require a full length couch or floor. ;)
I have hosted couch surfing for contra dancers and people I met while staying at the Sivananda Ashram in Grass Valley, CA.

Interests

I love it when people come to stay because it is a great excuse to be a tourist in my on town and to make a late breakfast and share it together.
This last April I hosted two contra dancers in my home. I had to catch a flight in the middle of their stay but I was glad to have them over because it continued the wonderful energy that was created at the dance camp weekend. And they were independent strong and fine with me going away. They only needed a home base for 1-2 days. We made breakfast, we talked, they helped me solve a logistics. problem. It was great!

Music, Movies, and Books

Be kind, clear, direct. I think about how would I feel if someone said _____ to me. As a teacher I've learned that interactions make the difference in any connection that I've had with my students. It's the same with all people.

Be positive! Otherwise I'm not going to get through challenges if I focus on how hard something is.

When I ask you how are you or how was your day, I'm asking because I want to know or I want to listen. Sure is polite or good manners but I want to be a witness and I need witnesses too. So that is why I ask and connect with people who ask me too.
