An oh-so-talented, tragically impoverished, charmingly bohemian lady... CURRENT MISSION To make a difference - to improve the lives of those I come in contact with. PHILOSOPHY I have been called open minded, and it's something I strive to be. Have you ever just stared up into the night sky... Looked at those stars and galaxies... Felt the enormity of the universe... And how very small we are in it... How can anyone claim to know the TRUTH. It's so silly that we waste our lives down here fighting over who's right and who's wrong, I want to live at peace with others. Quaker philosophy and teaching is close to my heart and aligns closely with my personal priorities. Key beliefs of Quakers are equality, integrity/honesty, simplicity, peace/non-violence, community, and stewardship of the earth. I could say that sums up what I feel is important in life. I love that so many people I meet through couch surfing share these values.

Por que estou no Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING Wherever I go, I always try to meet other CSers, or stay with them if I need a place. It was a big part of my life in my 20’s, and notes I’ve crossed 40, have a toddler and a dog and don’t always get to travel as care freely as I once did, but still love to host when possible to bring the world to my doorstep and diner table!

O Que Posso Oferecer aos Hosts
I'm quite a good cook, I've been told I should go on one of those cooking competitions where they get a bunch of random things and have to make a meal because I can always throw something together. (But it was my grandma who said that...) I usually prepare at least one meal for hosts, and it's something I genuinely enjoy. I've got a knack for cutting/styling hair, and if you need a haircut while I'm couch surfing just say the word, I love to do it! I can also do braids, dreadlocks, weave, cornrows, french braids etc, and enjoy that too, so if you host me you can end up looking like you took a trip to the Caribbean - if you like. If I'm in the mood I might like to draw your portrait, or your dog's portrait, or whatever!
