Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Every once in awhile I stretch my traveling legs and explore a new territory. I believe meeting and sharing with locals to be an invaluable and enriching part of the journey. My home is open to like-minded adventurists.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I learned about surfing from an incredible woman I met while I was living in Italy. She highly recommended it. Had a positive adventure while being hosted in Amsterdam. Thanks Pete!!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Cliff diving in Hawaii, facilitated the birth of my best friend's child, caught a bird while shark fishing in the Virgin Islands, studied massage in Thailand, lived in a yoga ashram in Italy, had beautiful visions in a Native American sweat lodge, witnessed the last breath of my beloved first husband...and so many more

Teach, Learn, Share

There is no past or future - only the present. And if you can learn how to rest in the present, all past pain and future worries will trickle away. Everything happens for a reason - including the people I meet.

Laugh a lot! Laugh every day! Laugh just for the pure joy of living! Laugh - especially at yourself. Then when you can't laugh any more, a few tears never hurt. Peace and prosperity are found only in the heart. Seek significance not success.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Clean and respectful.
