CURRENT MISSION Make this world a better place one human at a time, starting with me. ABOUT ME That was my opening description in 2010. I've always dreamed about going around the world and now that my kids are all grownups, I want to start my journey. I think that CouchSurfing is a great way to meet other travelers who want to share their experiences with me. This will help me plan my future trips. I am curious, energetic and open minded person, and I like to meet people with the same vibrations. UPDATE 2025 Now, after 15 years on this site, my life has taken turns like I would never image! Some good, some bad, some worst, but I keep going forward and am grateful for every little bits of joy this life brings me. I am now a grandma! Wow!! Best thing in my life! Four kids who teach me. Boy, do I learn fast, lol. They keep me up to date and keep going in all directions, all the time. I am so lucky that they still want to spend time with me. So if I get to host you in the summertime, you might get to meet them and live a different experience. They are a lot of fun! The Couchsurfing experience has brought me so much happiness through hosting, mostly. I met so many great souls and made lifelong connections. Also, I am retired, so, I have all my time to share. PHILOSOPHY Love and respect of others. Find beauty in everyone and everywhere. Find positivity in all negatives. Get moving and keep going forward.
