About Me

CURRENT MISSION

If it takes two to tango, then it takes two hundred couch surfing hosts to see the world through tango!

ABOUT ME

POsitive, joyful, caring, compassionate, and grateful, I AM. I moved to this beautiful part of the country to be closer to family..a sure way of keeping my spirits up, and my smile wide. My passion for dancing Argentine tango is my form of zen..meditation in motion. Travel (e.g. Thailand, India, Argentina) quenches my thirst for new experiences. Playing the piano, hiking, practicing yoga, playing tennis, painting with pastels, all keep various parts of my body, mind and spirit in shape.

PHILOSOPHY

It's all about love. Unconditional Love. Being kind, compassionate, seeing truth, being honest. I live the meaning behind NAMASTE: "I honor the place in you where the Universe resides. When you are in that place, and I am in that place, we are One."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Serendipitously, I met a CS'er from Australia. In town to visit a child, she needed a place to stay..Our mutual friend hooked us up. One plus one led to a situation with two happy people. Didn't know she was a CS'er until after her stay! Lovely connection.
