Why I'm on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I am new to couch surfing. My son has been doing it for years and told me about it. I love the idea of meeting people that live in the area I plan to travel to, and getting the "in" on how people live there. I live in rural Vermont, but not far from Dartmouth College and ski resorts, if visitors are interested in that. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE I've stayed with a wonderful woman in Toronto for a week; I've hosted my son's couch surfers three time for a winter getaway from NYC.

One Amazing Thing I've Done
Going to Haiti 3 weeks after the earthquake and nursing the injured was the most incredible experience. I became so fond of the resilient and spirited Haitians. Two weeks of 14+ hour workdays wasn't enough for me. The other most amazing thing is having my 5 children...truly a humbling and rewarding experience.
Teach, Learn, Share
I can share my dance experience...belly dancing is a wonderful thing for any woman to do. It is so much fun and can get very spiritual also. The music as fabulous. I love to share anything I know, and I want to learn things that can bring joy and health to others.
