CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy life and appreciate all the wonderful things in mine

ABOUT ME

Hmmm- where to start? I am a married teacher living in beautiful Calgary, Alberta. I am loving life right now- great family, great job, and planning an exciting trip to Croatia. I have travelled tons and have really enjoyed everywhere I've been, though Thailand and Jamaica are favorites! I love reading; mysteries are my thing, but I also enjoy outdoorsy stuff. I am constantly trying to stay healthy and fit- with varying degrees of success. I have a good sense of humour and am focusing on appreciating all the great things in my life and being grateful.

PHILOSOPHY

Be grateful for the blessings you have.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Music, Movies, and Books

Love mysteries but just read a great book called The Passage- don't want to spoil it but it has vampires and government agents- exciting, huh? Currently reading Italian cookbooks. Music...hmmm, do I admit I am loving 80's rock right now? I guess I am showing my age. Like all sorts of movies- saw Girl with a Dragon Tatoo, going to Inception tomorrow.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Diving the Great Barrier Reef, Prambanan Temples in Indonesia, lying on a beach in Boracay, hiking the Cabot Trail, too many to list. I've been lucky!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm always eager to learn stuff- as I mentioned, I can get enthusiastic about almost anything. As for sharing...how about a homemade tiramisu recipe?
