Why I'm on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING 'Just looking to help facilitate exploration... COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE My husband is more spontaneous than I am. He enjoys jumping in the car or booking a flight to go go go.... He never meets a stranger and enjoys getting to know people everywhere. I prefer at least a little bit of planning ahead, but also cherish connecting with new and old friends.
Music, Movies, and Books
I long for time to read!
One Amazing Thing I've Done
We lived in Australia for a year. We traveled around the county as much as we could while there, and a highlight of both of our lives was scuba diving on the Great Barrier Reef. Ongoing international work through Communities Healing througn Art (CHART www.chartaid.org) and Sangha (www.sanghaworld.org) in India and Thailand has also be remarkably rewarding.
