About Me

CURRENT MISSION

enjoy people and life, increase awareness

ABOUT ME

Think I'm easy-going, even if somewhat stubborn. I try to never be judgmental, but stay open-minded.

PHILOSOPHY

Just as we are all uniquely different, so are we all the same in spirit. I think we are courageous to have chosen this earth journey. There are no accidents, no coincidence...it's all serendipity, and it's all good in one way or another.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Interested to see how I fit in and how I can help promote extended community.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Just back from my first CS experience in Cork Ireland...and it was memorable! Spent the last 3 days of a 2 week trip to Ireland with Jim and his friends, and it was the best part of the trip! He cooked for us, drove us miles to see special sites, made us feel at home. Shared philosophies, cultures, friendship, and got to know the real Ireland. I'm hooked, and cannot wait to travel again! CS rocks!

Interests

People, music, photography, reading, traveling, animals, especially African Grey Parrots

  • animals
  • photography
  • flowers
  • reading
  • traveling
  • music

Music, Movies, and Books

Like most all movies except the shoot-em-up, explosive, sensationalized and desensitizing ones. Cannot imagine life without music! And no one can have too many books.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Having children was amazing and fulfilling! I'm amazed by nature every time I stop to smell a flower or watch an ant or stare into the night sky or watch the clouds or stand in the rain.

Teach, Learn, Share

Hmmm...I've been a gardener all my life. Can teach how to propagate plants. Have some knowledge of herbs and natural healing. And I'm an excellent listener. Also interested in parapsychology and the metaphysical.

Countries I’ve Visited

Canada, Iceland, Ireland, Mexico, Morocco, Nicaragua, Spain, United Kingdom

Countries I’ve Lived In

United States
