About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To let go of all fear! To be all that I can be (thanks, US Army, for letting go of that phrase!)! To make people laugh.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Once as a guest. Looking for many more. Hosted once, but despite a great experience, my partner is uncomfortable with it.

Interests

Hearing people talk about life. Challenging myself to make the most of this time on Earth. Showing children that grownups can be fun.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: too broad to categorize. Santana, Keith Jarrett, quiet Indian, Japanese, Chinese, Pakastani. Ravi Shankar.
Books: Cutting for Stone -Verghese, Corelli's Mandolin and Birds without Wings - Louis de Bernieres, The Elegance of the Hedgehog, anything by Terry Pratchett, history by David Hackett Fischer or Barbara Tuchmann,

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Lived in Brazil 6 months, in Rio de Janeiro. Such a beautiful country, and a spectacular city. Biked around England, Scotland, Wales. Lovely people. Parented two wonderful kids, and still am, despite their protests.

Countries I’ve Visited

Brazil, Canada, England, France, Germany, Italy, Mexico, Paraguay, Peru, Russian Federation, Scotland, Sweden, Switzerland
