CURRENT MISSION

Hmmm? Current mission is to expand my mine, & soul by learning about others that share this wounderful world with me:)

ABOUT ME

I wish to travel and continue to learn about other people's customs,traditions and way of being. I get upset when I am hosted by someone who thinks CS is a dating sight. I love it when I am hosted by someone who simply wants to be helpfull and to learn a bit about my counrty while they share a bit about their lives.

PHILOSOPHY

You have to be a friend to make a friend. The more one learns the better they are able to understand.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I currently have encouraged everyone I think might be cool to participate in this program , I surf and I offer my place to surfers :) However At this time I am unable to share my home with others. I am happy however to share my free time with you to show you what my lovely neighborhood has to offer :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Up dating this to day :) I am thankful to all those who have invited me into their home. Most of my CS experiences have been positive. I had a great time, meeting some more wonderful CS in Colombia and in India who cussed me to feel happy that I am a member of this organization. I have since I got back from my travels been given privilege to host someone who hosted me (felt nice to have the chance to give back ) and to help out someone els who need a place to crash.This winter I CS in the US. I have been hosted by CS who where born in the US and others who where born in other countries but who live here for one reason or another. All my host have brighten my life and add much to my story. I am enjoying all that I am learning about my neighboers :) I am hoping to have the chance to host them and others during a time I can offer to show them around. I really appreciated all the friendship others have given and all they have done for me during my travels. I hope to have the chance to offer you such kindness. Just so you know I am ok with people using my place in their effort to accomplish their dreams by saving money and not dishing out for a hotel bill as long as they are respectful and friendly. Also I'd like to add that you need give nothing in return. That if you feel you must, a roll of toilet paper would do. For this is always need, welcomed and it is a gift that if it last another CS can enjoy using.

Movies- open to watching most anything thing but will not bother
with moves like Freddy Krueger where cruelty and killing is thought to be thrilling. OK with documentaries like Hotel Hotel Rwanda. Like comedy best.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Act of kindness done by the rich and those with little to call their own.
Fallen in love;
Been self employed since I left school; traveled the world on a meager budget. Met amazing people who have helped me learn more and become more understanding as a person.
I have accomplished all but one of my goals that I set for myself back when I was a kid.
(Working on the next set:)

Teach, Learn, Share

Sense of acceptance.Can share my experiences in a variety of cultures and offer a fun companion.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Everyone has different comfort levels recognizing that I offer my host the opportunity to tell me what they need from me as a visitor. As a guest I do my best to take notice of how things are , where they are, and do my best to keep things tidy and neat by putting them back where and how I find them. I understand that when we sign up for this sight we agree that we will allow others to share our life simply for the pleasure of their company. When I host I let those who stay with me know that I can offer them a safe place of their own to sleep, clean sheets & towels and the share space in my home (bathroom, living room, TV room, kitchen and yard ) that I expect them to enjoy what I have to share . That I simply ask them to be respectful of my things and to leave things clean and put away as they found them before they chose to utilize what ever they used. Since I do not cook I do not offer food and request that they make arrangements to cook for themselves or eat out : ) I understand that some of us have been raised to bring something with us when visit some one. I let my gust know if they must a roll of soft toilet paper is always welcomed as the next CS will be happy to use it. However when I am the one to visit I offer to buy food to share for a meal as long as my host is open to helping me figure out how to cook it for I do enjoy sharing the company of those I stay with while meeting the needs of my hungry tummy. I do my best to leave the era that I was given to use as clean and tidy as I found it on my arrival : ) For I can not ask others to do the same unless I too am willing to do so. If by chance you are visiting me and I have never met you, you may stay three nights at the most if my schedule allows for it. IF you are also kind and respictful. If I am hosting you after I have been hosted by you I ask that you not plan to stay longer then the time you hosted me. Unless we have aranged for you to do otherwise proier to your visit. I ask that you provied me with the same basic courties that you offerd me. If you asked me to buy my own food expect to do the same. If you choose to tarvel around with me on your dollar expect that I will do the same if I can so aforad to. I look forward to hosting you. My last guest brought a gun ito my house. I did not mided that he had one, I just asummed he would leave it in his van. So for those who travel with a gun. Your gun is not welcome _IN MY HOME. I also care for a dog so pleasenote that if you have alleriges:)
PS no smoking or drugs are wanted here.
