CURRENT MISSION To find something humorous each day. ABOUT ME Well, I am of Acadian French-Canadian ancestry. French is my mother language, but, I do not speak it fluently. I have been studying the language for three years and can read and write it better then speaking. I am very healthy, I love cooking, baking everything from scratch and learning new recipes and cooking with others. My children and my grand-children are the most important people in my life. PHILOSOPHY To do my part, as best as I can, to take care of the Earth and respect all the creatures on it.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING Would like to host and meet other people from all over the world. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE I will be hosting again in a few weeks. It's interesting to meet new people.
Music, Movies, and Books
Movies that have good actors and actresses even if they are unknown. I love the french movies a lot: The Artist, Les Visiteurs, The Chorus, to name a few. Music is very ecletic; the blues, french music, cajon, classical, the older country music, like Jimmie Rodgers, Hank Williams,some harmonica and fiddle music and definitly, accordian music. Also, some spanish music and others. I also love reading.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
Having children
Teach, Learn, Share
I taught English in Tijuana, Mexico at the ABC Periodico in the 70's. In the late 80's I taught Kindergarten and later, started a business and sold vintage clothing. The instrument that I play a little, is the guitar. The things I would like to be better in, is learning the french language, be more knowledgeable about plants and herbs, and art.
