A very free-spirited, open-minded mid-fifties eccentric who loves nature as much as big cities, and staying in my cave as much as to walk surrounded by a multitude. I spend my days in Monteverde watching the forest in front of my window, writing, and painting, and well! Yes, the audiobooks and podcasts too.. and unknown progressive rock bands that are amazing, and known progressive rock too, of course!
My story? Well! The usual, single mother of five grown-ups, decided that the fifties is the best age because basically, my dear, you don't give a bleep about mostly anything, and are as ready to enjoy every breath as can be!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I used to be a tour guide, and loved the travelers, the stories, the fun, and well! Missing it! :)
I really like the idea of being immersed in a traveler's universe.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Very eclectic, although, definitely a rock'n roll fan. Progressive, power and heavy metal rock, but also Mozart and Yanni, Havasi, and Einaudi. It all depends on the mood I guess!
Books: So many! I guess my permanently downloaded are Sapiens, Sophie's World, Illusions (Richard Bach) and A Course in Miracles (But that is not really a book book)
Movies, Fan of GOT and LOTR, the Matrix, and whatever comes out of Christopher Nolan. But then again, I love Bridget Jones, Notting Hill and F.. yeah! JC Superstar!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Not only gave birth but raised five children... and survived! They survived and, well! Me too!

and... I noticed on my last trip to CDMX, that at 57, I can still manage to screw up, badly! (And that is extremely cool!)

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to provoke thought. Question stuff, talk about beliefs, and open up to be questioned about mine. So, well yes, I love to philosophize... if that is a verb in English. I am a traveler, used to be a tour guide, and raised 5 kids... Soooo many stories!
I love to learn everything! Especially talk about culture, human stories, travel stories.
I am 420-friendly, and love to share a tea, some good music, or movies, and conversations.
