CURRENT MISSION

I work on behalf of and for nonviolence and social justice.

ABOUT ME

My husband David and I are in our 60's, pretty quiet, and go to sleep relatively early in the evenings. We have three grown children and one big dog. We are not into partying. Everyone is rather bookish. If you like to read a book, we're chill with that. We grow a lot of our own food in our suburban back yard.

PHILOSOPHY

Wow, that's a biggie. I guess I try to leave things better than I found them, and I also try to remember the saying that "Days are long, but life is short." We really must make the most of our small time here.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I think it's a great ideal to build a greater sense of community in the world.

I've hosted a couple of times and stayed with new couch surfing friends a couple of times.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I think the most amazing thing I've ever seen, besides a newborn baby, is the temple of Angkor Wat and the other temples at Siem Reap in Cambodia. To imagine that place being built by men and elephants is mind boggling. And, it's beautiful too. The many temples I visited in Burma would have to count in there, too. They are beautiful, peaceful, and amazing.

Teach, Learn, Share

Not now. Life is busy enough! Maybe cooking over a glass of wine.
