CURRENT MISSION

I

ABOUT ME

I am fun loving, easy going, slow to anger, open minded, a bleeding hearts liberal. I see the world with Rose Colored Glasses (so I have been told!), I expect the best from people, and that is what I usually receive.
I am creative, outgoing, talk to anyone and everyone. ( and talk too much, so I have been told;-)

PHILOSOPHY

I always assume the best about people, assume they will treat me fairly and with kindness. I am very rarely disappointed. That sounds pretty simple to be a philosophy, but it is really how I look at things. I am an optimistic pragmatist. I always assume the best will happen, and then whatever does happen, I am able to say; "It is what it is" and find a way to deal with it. That seems so simple to me, but I guess it isn't that simple for everyone.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None, so far. I have heard about this from a young friend of mine, and again on NPR

Interests

I love traveling and meeting new people. My passion is creating...painting, sewing, anything with my hands. Currently I design and create Silver and Copper Jewelry. I love living in Greece and love sharing it with others who come here.
