Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love to meet new people and hear their stories and experiences. There is so much to be learned from others.
I love to laugh and do have a great sense of humor, life is funny and too many are so uptight so I have moved past lifes embarrassing moments and will be sure to say please Excuse me...:)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None so far, but looking forward to it.

Interests

Nature is captivating, love the outdoors and gardening. Am a beginner in Birding. I am renovating a Historical property built in 1850. Love to build things and do home repairs. I live in a home built in the late 1800's so I guess you could say I love old houses and I collect antiques.
Mostly I love people and diversity. I am so open to meeting people from all cultures and backgrounds.
Love to do physical activity, walking, biking, hiking, couchsurfing..... :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Standing atop the Eiffel Tower in Paris,Seeing the beautiful coast of Ireland, Amazing,Driving through the Lavender fields in bloom in Auch,Provence of Southern France, will never forget those wonderful scents.Driving thru and flying over the Tulip fields in Holland I have never seen such a display of color. Living in Baghdad, Iraq during a raging War, encountering gunfire with bullets you could hear whizzing by your head and mortars exploding in my camp. Worked there for seven years, still can't believe all I learned and witnessed there.Made amazing friends from all over the world!

Teach, Learn, Share

Love home repair. I would be in the construction business if I could handle the lifting requirements. I can do a lot of small jobs and recently constructed a new shed at my home.
I am open to helping you with projects when I am off from work. I am starting a new job, and looking for a permanent home. I have very little $$$ currently so CS is a life raft in the ocean to keep me a float for a little while.Thank You.
