CURRENT MISSION

Have as much fun as possible and make LOTS of people laugh!

ABOUT ME

I adore new experiences even if they don't always seem beneficial at first. As I age, I find I am am not the neatnick I once was at housekeeping. As a Virgo, I strive against it, but don't beat myself up about it. My place is small and clean-ish, but NOT tidy, by any means.
A few years after a diagnosis of Crohn's Disease, I have that well under control with minimal amounts of pharmaceuticals. I almost left that out, as I don't like to be defined by a disease.

PHILOSOPHY

Making others happy, if only for a second.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I had some CS experiences while driving across the USA in a Smartcar in May of 2014. Mostly positive, one dreadful but escapable (nearly BORED us to death), one exemplary!! Loved the Owl-filled place in St. Louis.
My partner and I travel to Boston to visit relatives and usually stay somewhere on the way!

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

In December 2014 I was in Cuba when the remaining three of the Cuban Five were released (exchanged) and talks about normalization began. Transformative!
