I'm the divorced mother of two grown daughters. I have moved around a bit since the end of my marriage, still searching for a place I'd like to really settle in, even as I realize that may never happen. I enjoy gardening, karaoke, tennis, frisbee, live music and evenings out (but not late ones), and just hanging with a beer and chatting at home. As a former homeowner, I'm very respectful of others' space and schedules.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I enjoy hosting visitors and showing them around the area. I have never surfed myself, but it's on my list of possibilities. I hosted at least 20 people when I lived in San Francisco, and several more since moving here to Portland.

Music, Movies, and Books

Seventies classic rock and harmonic singers top my list of frequent iPod listens. I'm lately reading a lot about climate change and the politics around it. I'm not a big movie-goer.
