I'm 40 but look 25 (I'm told) and love nature, animals, tiny homes, art, stripes, comedy television, conversation, ideas, cozy places, friendly people, the kind people of the earth, chunky winter scarves, sea glass, kooky knick-knacks, and LAUGHTER. I do not smoke or party or listen to loud music, but I enjoy social drinking now and again (but respect a dry home), dinner parties, cooking, farmer's markets, and sunsets.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm having new adventures! Me and my two awesome senior lady cats. We're off to meet people, explore, and to travel! We hope to end up in the SE USA because we are US citizens, too! We have friends in Pensacola, Dallas, Houston, Austin, Kansas City, and Asheville and are looking for a new life in any of the South, Mid-South, or Southeast. I'm artsy and analytical and the cats love to watch birds and nap! They are indoor only and very clean.

I love tiny homes and smart, efficient design. I love chunky winter scarves, sea glass, water pitchers and fancy cutwork. Some of this type of stuff is pictured in my other photo album to give you a glimpse of what I like and enjoy in life.

I love when a ceiling is painted in stripes or when the edges of a door are painted a bright colour. I love southern US accents and using the word "Y'all's."

I love giving gifts and looking at adoption animals on the internet, but then I want them all! I love Kathmandu and Paris, Iceland, Prince Edward Island and most everything British.

I love fancy or beautiful or strange words like "laburnum" or "argy-bargy," or "hoosegow" or "bougainvillea."

I love wit and wryness and humour. Interesting characters. The waterfront. A lush forest. The blue heron. I love everything striped.
