I am
- curious about everything
- an acquired taste
- an extroverted introvert
- cautious & adventurous
- trusting yet skeptical
- essentially a riddle wrapped in an enigma

I am an old soul for sure. My interests, hobbies & life are as random as you can imagine.
I believe in kindness and respect above all else.

Oh, and one of my cat's loves to play fetch. Seriously.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Love meeting new people and getting to know their stories.

My only child is leaving for college, and now is my time to travel and seek the adventure I crave. I'm itching to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go...where others have gone before.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music - nearly everything, from new age and classical to pop and folk. Some Fave artists: R.E.M. and Chris Isaak

Theatre - yes please. Phantom of the Opera, Wicked, Greatest Showman, My Fair Lady, Avenue Q...I think you get it.

Movies - again, nearly everything, from comedies and rom-coms to action and superhero. Love documentaries and will watch ANYTHING that's based on a true story!

Books - So many, but at the top of my list: The Thorn Birds, Anne of Green Gables, anything by Christopher Pike (esp. Season of Passage). Young adult dystopian future books are my shameful guilty pleasures.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Wit I guess. And stories of a life filled with randomness that may just blow your mind.
