ABOUT ME I love to be with positve minded people. I have been so blessed to have traveled to Hawaii, 3 or 4 times, Mexico (2 1/2 months) with my 3 teenagers (west to east coast), most countries in Europe, Morrocco, Thailand and Burma. We had a family from Cambodia live with us for a year when their country was invaded. Also a young girl from Persia (Iran) lived with us a year. I love to talk about this. I've been involved in our community thru my childrens business, graphic design. I have met so many wonderful people.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I am now 74 and running low on energy. BUT I finally bought a self contained Roadtrek van, only 19 feet and love to run away to the beach and am hoping to find a kind person that will let me park by their house. Oh how I love to talk about my travels but I try to write my adventures. Too bad that is not one of my talents. HA. I live in Morgan Hill, close by in my tree house but love the negative ions of the ocean.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
My first hike thru Prarie Creek State Park in Northern Ca. I just knew someone had laid out every tree and fern. It made me cry. Also a mother bathing her 6 month old baby in a small bucket on the river in Bangkok. There are too many to list.
My Interests
I love my home. I live in a cabin in the mountains on a steep hill under the oak trees. As I lay in bed or from my frontroom all I can see are the top half of the trees. So I tell everyone I live in a treehouse. Swiss Family Robinson was always one of my favorites. I love to garden (not real good), sew and read Mother Earth Magazine in a swing. Today I canned1 14 pints of carrots. I wish I had a friend to discuss these articles and build things with, like a soda can solar heater. My mother, age 90, has been with me for 3 years and keeps me busy. I love to run away to the beach and heal in the breeze.
