CURRENT MISSION

Be happy with where I'm at and open to opportunity

ABOUT ME

I'm a not-too-old grown-up with adult daughters, married for decades to a great guy. I have the good fortune to live in a beautiful area that is a vacation destination, especially in the summer. I am as happy working in my garden as I am going for a hike, a bike ride, or a swim in the river. Good friends are essential and I am lucky to have many.

PHILOSOPHY

Live and let live

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm fortunate to have some space to share and a nice husband who goes along with my interest in meeting/hosting travelers. Perhaps someday I will have a chance to be the surfer but right now I am content to have surfers from all over bring their travels and stories to me.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted some of the nicest people I would otherwise never have met if not for Couch Surfing. One surfer couple left us the coolest shrinky dink magnet of a couch on a wave. One resourceful mom found an interesting quiet spot in our house for her baby to sleep which I would never thought of.

Interests

Family, books, cooking, hiking, skiing, not too difficult bike rides, gathering and preserving fruits and vegies, hanging out with my friends.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

At this age I have done/seen many so many amazing things. A current favorite: A couple of weeks ago, after picking strawberries in the shadow of Mt Hood, I saw a mama bear and her two cubs run across a road. The next morning two deer walked through my backyard!
