我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Been off the grid for a bit, spending time with adult children and their families.
Now it's time to see what is happening across America with others.

Many people live their entire lives without ever becoming complete. They live decades without understanding who they are, why they feel what they do and how to recreate a successful personal journey every day.

By completing our own destiny, we can eventually transcend self and participate fully with others.

兴趣

many interests...mostly in trying to understand how things work and why

• dining
• reading
• entrepreneurship
• science
• social science

音乐、电影和书籍

like movies of all kinds except ones with very tiny sub-titles:-) and those with irrational violence. prefer happy endings (like in Die Hard or Notebook) or biographies

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

i saw my children being born...a blessing of nature

i have traveled to Mexico; Canada, half of the US states and have a son who lived in Asia for a decade...so, get all of the scoop on what's happening in the Asia markets. i would like to do a world tour in this lifetime.

教，学，和分享

this is a treat I enjoy - quinoa (keen-wa) is a great grain that is a complete protein...and the red is better than the white...although they are both from Bolivia...someone in Colorado is doing a black that I have not tried yet...but will...good substitute for meat...don't get hungry 20 minutes later as with pasta or rice

I have been doing an elixir of olive oil, honey and fresh lemon juice every morning before breakfast....seems to be pretty good for boosting energy.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

I am well read....and thoughtful of others....and, I can cook:-).
