CURRENT MISSION

To share happiness. We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful what we pretend to be.

ABOUT ME

I have big hair but it smells really good. I would much rather do things than have things. I am a live-in volunteer in a residential community for people with special needs.

PHILOSOPHY

I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today.
I can choose which it shall be.
Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet.
I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it.
--Groucho Marx

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I hosted a number of travelers when I lived in the States and would love to start seeing the surfing side now that I live in Europe.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Each time I've hosted it has been an amazing experience. It has been incredible to meet people from around the globe and get their unique input on the world around us.
