CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I love a good wine too often. I am an organic gardener. I work with troubled teens and love it. The most important thing I've done is be a parent.

PHILOSOPHY

Change is inevitable. Embrace it.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have heard lots of my daughter's couchsurfing stories, and I have had the privilege of having one of her couchsurfers spend the night on my couch! Looking forward to more CS experiences this summer.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I cried when I left the Louvre because I didn't have enough time to enjoy it.

I bought a bottle of Peter Dennis Shiraz because the man himself convinced me to.
