ABOUT ME After being on one side of the school desk for awhile, I found myself on the other, having, in the meantime, learned Spanish and traveled a bit. I emptied that desk and filled a backpack, including business cards that read "tour manager". My home is my partner, Thollem (the h is silent), composer/pianist and improviser. Well, we both improvise in Life, and enjoy doing so with all sorts of people in all parts of the world (when given the chance). PHILOSOPHY "Life willin' and all that". I just go along with It. Life is the greatest teacher, with workshops happening all the time, chances to meet colleagues and use the things around me to share, learn, observe, enjoy, dislike, fix, consider, among many other benefits.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING Today is the 15th of November, 2008. It is 23:11 and I am just starting to participate in this form of adventure in typing this. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE Couchsurfing with a capital C? None. I have known couches and their owners, however, in France, Ireland, many parts of the States, Italy, Slovenia, Portugal.
Music, Movies, and Books
The book I read every year: To Kill A Mockingbird Music - well, my husband's of course! www.virb.com/thollem or www.thollem.com He pretty much covers it all.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
I found a person - my best friend - with whom I can travel perpetually and with whom I can share my own separate experiences, knowing he will be as enthusiastic about them as I am about his. That is amazing.
Teach, Learn, Share
My dad, in the passenger seat with one of my siblings driving in a snowstorm, "Gear down, ease into it and lay off the brakes!" It was a necessity for that moment, and wisdom for Life. My mom once said, "Listen, and be very observant." Ah - there are many things to learn, from others, from mistakes, from reflections, from the elements. To teach? The thoughts I have to share will be made apparent through conversations. They consist of experiences, and are therefore conveyed differently as my memory selects what to remember, and pass on. As a traveler, I am a cultural ambassador of where I've been, and especially of my home country.
My Interests
I am interested basically in learning. I have no specific place I want to be, I simply want to meet people, know places, and tour with my husband, Thollem, so that he can share in the interesting times I have. I also am a bookworm and love to paint pictures of my travels with words.
