PHILOSOPHY
"If you think you can do a thing or you think you can't do a thing, you're right" ~ H. Ford
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I think couch surfing is a great way to share our lives, ideas and cultures. Its a chance to be open and get close to someone you may have never met otherwise. I regularly invite travelers to my home for meals or accommodation. I really enjoy the interchange and would love more opportunities to be hospitable. Plus, I love travelers and all things traveling, I'm very curious and love to learn. Can I eat that weed in my garden? What's it like in Istanbul? Where's the best vegetarian food in Cork? Too much fun!

Music, Movies, and Books
I like movies but I don't have many opportunities to see them where I live. I liked The Boy in Striped Pajamas because it made me think. "Demain" was excellent and encouraging. Not big on action or thriller. I like true stories.
Music: Yan Tiersen, Jason Morz, Editus, Etta James, Louis Prima, Stan Getz, Pearl Jam, Dean Martin, Modest Mouse, The Shins, Mana, Glenn Miller, Coldplay, Matt Costa,Cake, Morcheeba, Passion Pit,CCR...
Books: I LOVE non-fiction! Biographies and history. Coming of Age in the Milky Way is one of my favorites. My Experiments with Truth, Gandhi..The World as I see it by Albert Einstein. Notebooks of Leonardo DaVinci, I read just about anything I can get my sticky fingers on!
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
One thing?? That would be hard to say. Amazing things happen everyday!
I used to have a Guinea Fowl (like a chicken) and it was special in many ways, but one day I saw it herd cows!
Teach, Learn, Share
I really like to bond over tea. I love to cook so I'm always on the lookout for new recipes. Share your favorites with me and maybe I can give you a couple to take home. One thing I like about Costa Rica is the fresh fruit. I make lots of smoothies.
What I Can Share with Hosts
I'm an avid forager and make my own hair and cleaning supplies. I have lots of simple, healthy recipes in mind. I am great at simplifying homes, to make them more organized, calm and ecological. I have gardening and construction experience. Love to work on projects!!
I can give encouragement and help you find the positive side of almost any situation.
