I live with my husband and 3 cats in a country home near Worcester MA. I work part time as a psychiatrist and spend the rest of my time writing a novel. The house is over 200 years old. We have a private guest room with its own bath. You need a car to get here and to get around. There is no public transit.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to can tomatoes or peach jam, or how to watch hummingbirds in the summer if you've never seen them. I can't teach you how to get cats to talk to you as mine refuse to do this despite numerous attempts on my part, including bribes.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Quiet country setting, interesting conversation, a glass of slivovitz if you're in the mood, some amazing music, a lot of cat hair (this place is not for the allergic)
