About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Visiting other parts of the world while never leaving my own living room. Come and share with me where you live, or where you've been or where you're going. Perhaps I've "been there" too.

ABOUT ME

I love life! I love my family! I love people and I'd love to host whomever needs a home for a night or two.

PHILOSOPHY

Faith sees the invisible, believes the incredible, and receives the impossible. Faith makes things possible, not easy!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I offer couches most often.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Have had several people occupy our couch. Some people we've thoroughly enjoyed spending time with and others were clearly here for a place to hang and sleep with no interest in spending time with us or getting to know who we are. Its all good. Obviously since we are part of couch surfing, we'd like to interact with people and are less interested those who use others for their own needs while remaining distant from those whose home they share. The opportunity has never presented itself for any of us to be a couch surfer, but who knows what our futures will bring?

Interests

My family holds the number one position on my list of what interests me. I am a paper crafter first, but enjoy a wide range of crafts. I've very creative and innovative. I love to cook and would love to welcome you with a meal if I know when you're coming.

Music, Movies, and Books

Love music of all types excluding those with lyrics that are vulgar or suggestive. I read a wide variety of authors including Jodi Picoult and Harlan Coben. I enjoy movies with overriding family themes such as Diary of a Mad Black Woman and Corageous.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I watched my first grandchild being born. It was amazing!

Teach, Learn, Share

I cook well. I craft. I'm an excellent teacher.
I'm very honest and self-aware and those are skills losing popularity in today's world. My interests are varied. I'm an excellent learner, and I'm interested in learning how to do almost everything.
