I live with my husband and teenage daughter .... we are easy-going, generally loving and compassionate people ..... we love humor and being in the moment as much as our monkey minds can be persuaded.....

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We love the idea of paying it forward by offering space for travelers and hopefully requesting a couch in the future :)

Music, Movies, and Books

Eclectic music, love kirtan, dub reggae, funky soul, conscious lyrics for change... My husband Jivan is a kirtan wallah and singer/songwriter...
Movies that uplift and inspire, or that look into what is really happening here, documentaries, nature movies....
Books on gardening, spirituality, inner work, nonviolent communication

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Got married less than two months after meeting my husband, and still very happily married 23 years later :)

Got lost on a goat trail that ended on the middle of a cliff hundreds of feet above the ocean in the Transkei...
