About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Experience the world beyond my couch and share with others.

ABOUT ME

Don't let the age fool you. I'm a lively, active and outgoing woman. I enjoy meeting people and sharing ideas, philosphy, arts and hearing stories about life experiences of people of all ages.

While people say I could easily pass for 10 years younger, I believe in being honest. We are all who we are and should bear no shame in that.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't judge a book by its cover. I find people fascinating (hence the Psych degree) and feel that learning all one can about the people of the world makes it more colorful and tolerant. While we may have different opinions, it does not mean one is right and one is wrong...just different and that is what makes my world a wonderful place to be.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am new at this at the moment, but intend to be as involved as I can be with this organization. I have heard wonderful things from friends and their couch surfing guests about this experience.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have hosted a foreign exchange student from Germany for a summer here in the States. Looking forward to more experiences.

Interests

I go hiking, bicycling often and sometimes kayaking. I also am an avid quilter/textile design artist. I am well read, love foreign films, small theater, really good animation, building sand castles and playing with food (as in creating edible art). I love to cook and the more there are to cook for the happier I am.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like almost all types of music. Not too hip to some rap. Love good animation films like "Avitar" "UP" and foreign films from everywhere. Reading, tends to lean toward spy novels and vampire stories with the occasional trashy romance novel.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sailed as a working crew member on the Bark Endeavour during it's 2000 world tour. It is a replica of Captain Cook's 18th century sailing vessel. Everything is done manually by the crew, like furling and unfurling sails, hoisting same, bow watches, crow's nest sitting and sleeping in banana hammocks just like the old crew did. GREAT experience.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach, learn and share...yes, that is my goal.
