CURRENT MISSION

"Education is the most powerful weapon we can use to change the world" - Nelson Mandela

ABOUT ME

I have only hosted so far and I loved the experiences. I find that I really enjoy meeting new people, being a host and seeing my city from the point of view of visitors - fresh pair of eyes and all!

I like to do too many things to count. Knitting, sewing, drawing, eating, watching movies, reading books, going to the theater, going to concerts ... going to concerts - definitely! Just enjoying life while I can.

PHILOSOPHY

I honestly believe that people ought be able to live with their own guidelines as long as it does not hurt others or keep others from practicing their own beliefs. This is difficult ... I can have more thoughts on it once this is accomplished in my life!
