ABOUT ME
Let's go. Let's do it. If you can go, let's go. If not, I gotta go. I love to travel and see the world. I love to read (but not watch TV). I love to cook and eat. And, did I say let's go!
PHILOSOPHY
Investment in people. Obtaining knowledge for a clearer perspective - hey, if it's not death or serious sickness, it's just details.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I'm starting out. My couches are open to any CS traveler. Come vist the "mid-coast" of the USA.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Stayed with a wonderful couple in Buenos Aires. CS worked like a well oiled clock.
Yippee! I hosted a young couple from Gainseville, Florida. Thank you Josh and Meagan for taking the plunge into the great unknown, my home.
Sweet Alaska and my favorite town, Talkeetna and hosted by sweet Carol! ("I'll be back.")
Lawrence, where are you? Thanks for couch surfing my home. It was interesting talking with you. Maybe, I'll catch you in Miami? Brazil?
Interests
I'm interested in continuous improvement.I love to read to fill the gaps in my knowledge. I'm interested in relationships with family, friends I work a lot, read, swim, spin, cook and therefore eat. I'm not dead yet. Work hard, play hard.

Music, Movies, and Books
Yes, I pretty much like all kinds of music (just not rap). I'm a voracious reader and use an electronic reader because my arms are dragging from carrying books. Collapse by Jared Diamond, The Swerve, The Name of a Rose, Hero with a 1000 Faces by Campbell, The Economist magazine,all the classics (Dickens, Dumas, Shelley,...) I like critically acclaimed movies (Amores Peros, Black Swan, There Will Be Blood, My Big Fat Greek Wedding, etc.). I loved the Girl with the Dragon Tatoo series! The RIchard Sharpe series. I am not interested in junk for the mind or stuff as a measure of a person.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Being in the hospital room when my children were born.
Teach, Learn, Share
I am a teacher and enjoy honing my communication skills in relationships, the classroom and in my business. I enjoy sharing my questions, perspectives, experiences and listening to others express themselves. I enjoy finding out what makes people passionate.
