About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Our Blue marble is actually quite small...i desire to know it and welcome fellow kind minded travelers

ABOUT ME

Love the outdoors to just BE IN...Nature & all the "critters"...gardening,reading good books,eating great food and fine wines,Traveling IS a MUST as is live music/concerts/especially indie type perfomers,enjoy the cinema/art flicks,galleries,boating...a good friend has large pontoon,we boat often especially at night...the sky is glorious..just into In-Joying Life!!!

PHILOSOPHY

to be "good" is to DO GOOD.I always try to "honor" the person & situation and keep an attitude of gratitude...into reusing/giving away/recycling,growing my own food...since I'm vegetarian.Respecting Motherearth,animals...
Can tell more when "we" meet..

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

outgoing,easy going on the "hippie" side..vegetarian,keep a comfortable home,like to go places AND be home as well.LOVE to host and travel & stay with Csurfing "family".

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

June 2008..16 days in PERU where we stayed in hostels,traveled frugually,and meet friends for life...already sending clothes,books,toys,money to a special project we stayed with there.
Stayed with Beth & then Paul & Alexandra while I spent a week of wonderful days in Boston & Mass. in general.What a great State and my Csurfing experiences were MOST EXCELLENT..want to go BACK..

Interests

have traveled using hostels "all" my adult life so far...looking for more intimate experiences now.A little more than a year of couch surfing now;AND it has been SUCH a delightful experience for me. As a single woman traveling on roads unknow,places brand new,it's SO comforting to have CS friends to share & be with.To learn from these gracious souls and hopefully leave them with something to reflect & smile upon.
Apart from travel,I enjoy gardening,Live music,good reads,movies,great wine,food...animal family and just living in general

Barbara Kingsolver & Anne LaMott among my favorite contemporary authors.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Being a mother...I have one daughter...is an incredible HIGH/Blessing
Machu Picchu was incredible as are many of the RUINS in Mexico,the Canadian Rockies,Niagra Falls,the Giant Redwoods.,the Andes,Colca Canyon,Hana coast etc etc...Nature in ALL it's states blows me away...

Teach, Learn, Share

everyone has a tale to share...I like to hear from others and share my stories as well...connecting the dots around the world...we are "all-connected"
