Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I give to the poor and homeless (and there are LOTS of them here in Los Angeles). I help my friends, and strangers.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Saw the movie! Gave them money. Have a friend who is experienced with it.

I am in MENSA, and they have a similar thing, and I've hosted and met people worldwide from their program--for decades!!

HAVING FUN

Reading
I take two classes per semester at UCLA (now taking epigenetics--no, I STILL don't know what it is!!, and a class on intelligence agencies). I've already got two graduate degrees-so I LOVE learning!!

Music, Movies, and Books

Jimi, blues, reggae, jam music, world beat....nearly anything..but not commercials!!

Movies---too many. Obscure, documentaries, comedies...

George Bernard Shaw (Nobel winning author).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I inherited a kidney disease, and found my donor on Craigslist. I am alive and insanely healthy. He's doing great too--eight years later.
The fact that I am ALIVE---is more awesome than you can ever imagine. Without his kindness, I would be dead---and that would be a bummer!!

Been to Ha Long Bay in Viet Nam--which is The most beautiful site I've visited.
The ice caves in Austria are nice this time of year too!
Les Gorges du Tarn in France---been there about five times!

and lots more...
