CURRENT MISSION

I wish I knew. I am a seeker.

ABOUT ME

I'm tempted to write well-preserved: but that makes me sound like a pickle or jam jar. :-) Vibrant? That has a nice quality about it. I'm blessed with a healthy body and enjoy an active lifestyle. I'm curious about others and their way of life and pov. I work nearly full time because I feel useful and because it makes possible TRAVEL. I live alone these days but am never lonely. I have found contentment (mostly) within my own skin. A good place to be.

PHILOSOPHY

I wanted "life is a journey" as my CS ID...but it was taken. Exploring my inner world and my environment at the moment is the most thrilling adventure I can imagine. Wherever I go: there I am. Travel has been an unexpected but devoutly wished for life experience. I never feel more myself than when jumping from a plane (properly chuted of course) or trekking over unfamilar terrain.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Brand new but eager to learn. Hosting has always been a pleasure and twill be an adventure to invite world travelors into my home and lifestyle.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am an eager CS virgin.

Interests

Gardening has always been my inspiration and solace. I get my BEST ideas while bringing order to my small patch. I become involved with volunteering to community org's and agencies such as Library services S(booksales, book review groups) Medical Reserve Corps (now helping with H1N1 clinics), Womens service center (rape and abuse counseling). Vibrant theatrical community hereabouts and am avid supporter and attendee. Enthusiastic hiker; refreshed by paddling w canoe and kayak on beautiful local rivers.

Music, Movies, and Books

Almost anything Holocaust related: Night, The Sunflower, Brundibar, myriad survivor and 'savior' memoires; Amy Tan's Hundred Secret Senses,reread Pelbar Cycle, Ken Folletts romance with past mill in Pillars of the Earth. Netflix oldies as home entertainment (TV not so much)recreate mood and reminiscence of 50-70's . Love jazz but not knowledgable.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Putting myself in physical danger: Zip lining thru Costa Rica Jungle; the insanity of voluntarily jumping out of a perfectly fine airplane.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love the ancient art of storytelling. The ancient troubadors who were greeted with such anticipation brought news of the outside world and unheard of adventures. Imagine! Crafting and bringing those perceptions to the consciousness of our time!!
