About Me

My kids are grown (all three) and I am on my own.
It is time for me to be free
To see the world
From sea to sea to sea.

People add to all things good,
Fun and laughter in your and my hood.
I know my nightlife and scenery to see.
I want to see yours, with no fee.

Slept on rocks and in my car,
a couch would be welcome
at my age, I raised the bar.

I am not a poet,
but you can see that I try.
So many adventures,
I am ready to fly.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

A friend told me about this site.
I want to travel, but on a budget. So here I am.
After raising three kids and a divorce several years ago, funds can be tight.
However, I won't let that stop me. I am still good at managing money no matter how little it is.
I am social extrovert with a great sense of humour and I love meeting new people. I would enjoy hanging out and showing people from all over the world my corner of this planet. So many beautiful things and places to go. There is a culture to share.

Interests

Hiking, biking, swimming, scuba diving, architecture, caves, waterfalls, pine trees to palm trees, wine, craft beer, meeting people, sharing laughs.

Music, Movies, and Books

Anything live and new. Anything locally bases where I am to experience this part of the culture....OK except country music (no Nashville USA anytime soon:))
