CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I'm a wanderer, an artist, and a lover of life. I was lucky enough to be married for 22 years to my best friend, who also loved to travel. Now that he has passed on, I feel the need to stay put for a while, but I'll be looking for couches again, by and by . . .

PHILOSOPHY

A good traveler has no fixed plans and is not intent on arriving -- Lao Tzu

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Because I'm a wanderer, I'm more likely to end up on your couch than vice-versa, but I will always make a place for fellow explorers wherever I am! The world is an amazing place -- I want to see it all!!! I hope to spend time on all 7 continents before I leave this planet.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've been a part of the no longer functioning The World For Free, and also Hospitality Exchange . . . some of my best friends are people I have met while traveling . .. which is why couchsurfing is SO awesome!!!!!
