CURRENT MISSION

To experience and understand as much about life as can be squeezed into a lifetime

ABOUT ME

As a friend once said, I am the most non-confrontational rebel she has ever known. I really enjoy spending quality time with friends and traveling about in any form... walking, busing, traveling by plane, train, or automobile. And as a couch surfer, I of course love to travel.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've spent lots of time in the temperate rainforests in Alaska. Before living there, I didn't know much about this incredibly diverse landscape, I thought it was one great big piece of frozen tundra. ~ I have never experience green, like crazy green in everything (trees, water, sky, northern lights, etc.) as I have there.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm happy to try all three. I'm really good at walking, and well, if anyone would like to join me, that would be fantastic!
