CURRENT MISSION

Wow!! What a trip! I had such a great a great time! Food, wine, gelato, cappuccino, espresso.....everything was so good!! Everyone was so friendly! Thank you Italy!!! Muah! Ciao

ABOUT ME

Hmmm...let's see...me...well I'm an open minded individual & enjoys meeting new & open minded people and new challenges. I'm an adventurer!
Despite my appearance, I'm not superficial. People automatically assume that I am which is furthest from the truth as night and day. I'm actually quite the opposite! I see people for who they are.
I find myself to be very out going as well willing to try anything once. I'm also a firm believer in "Karma". I'm easy going, care free and I love doing things that make me feel good. I like being with people that make me feel good. All my friends I have are positive people. I only do & say things that are positive and beneficial to others and myself.
I'm also not a bad cook, I can cook some not a lot. I make a mean rustic Italian pasta with sundried tomatoes, artichoke heart & touch of red wine, A very tasty Salmon steak you've never tasted before, great omelet.
I'm a good listener and love conversation. I'm not complicated, if anything I'm very simple and sincere.
You might say I'm the black sheep in the family. I have the same family values they have. But I like excitement, taking risks, working out (taking care of my self), I have the need for speed. I love participating in sports where as they like watching sports.
Since exercise has been my life & I love sharing & helping, I combined the two and wrote a book called "The Fountain Of Youth-The Body". I hope to inspire people with it!
Traveling has been one thing that has been on my to do list For a long time! I've traveled to Acapulco, Key west and Cuba but now to the places I've always wanted to go. I love helping people, teaching people, learning from people & sharing with people.
I love watching movies, Dinners and relaxing with a glass of wine.
My career was a Hair Stylist for 22 yrs and had my own business for 10 years and I loved it. Now its time to try new careers. I've competed in body building for 30 years and raced motor cycles for a few years. I love living life with passion & experiencing new things with new people.
I savor every moment I have on this planet in this spec of sand we call time!

PHILOSOPHY

We are all connected by energy so have a passion for life and living it & love as much as you can. Live life to the fullest!! Learn as much as you can. If you can learn one new thing everyday, that's 365 new things a year, 3,650 in ten years, 7,300 new things in 20 years.....

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Now I am participating when I leave for Italy!! I will be eating real Italian food, meeting & conversing with amazing people totally different culture and life style than what I'm use to!! This is definitely my destiny!!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I remember my reaction when I first heard about cs from my good friend Doris. She told me all about her trip to India using cs. My mouth dropped to the floor. The people she met places she went, the things she did. She wouldn't have seen or done if she hadn't joined cs. I want the same experience to meet exciting & new people, learn new things! I traveled to Florida-Key west, Fort Lauderdale, Acapulco, Cube. But now I've always wanted to experience Europe. So my first exciting experience in July, 18 is going to be back packing through Italy. I'm so excited & can't wait to see who I'm going to meet, what I'm going to see, what I'm going to eat & where!! Italy...Here I come!!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was driving home one day and came across a lady lying on the pavement. I heard someone scream help as I got out of my car. This poor woman was just run over by a cement truck. I had a first aid kit in my car and was trained in CPR and First aid. So someone got my kit and I applied first aid to this woman who's name is Maria. She was crushed on her leg, I tried to stop the bleeding as we awaited paramedics to arrive. It felt like hours but they were there in minutes. She survived and we just celebrated her 80th birthday.
