CURRENT MISSION

Seeing new places, meeting new people, embracing my bros and sistahs all over.
I hosted people when I lived in Portland. Now I live in Ajijic, MX. I have a guest room with its own private bathroom.

ABOUT ME

I've traveled to most all states in the US, many countries in Eastern Asia, Spain, and Costa Rica. I have various friends from each of my residences and travels. I've lived in DC, FL, Eugene, OR, Anchorage, AK, Dallas, TX, ,Portland, OR, and now MX. I enjoy reading and politics (even when they are not looking so bright,) hiking, a good cup of joe, art museums, doing pastels, bike riding, and various other projects. I have two beautiful granddaughters.

PHILOSOPHY

Be the best you can and be there for others. Make your days count. Appreciate my time on this planet.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I believe this is a great way for people to connect, host, and learn about each other and different places in a non-capitalist way! I am up for a cup of joe and willing to show you around Ajijic, MX and the beautiful surrounding areas or give you directions and send you on your way. I have comfortable accommodations and am looking forward to doing some surfing of my own!

Morceaux de musique, films et livres

Hmm...I like a lot of John Irving, loved "Don't Sleep, There are Snakes, by Daniel Everett, "The Poisonwood Bible," Kingsolver, and "The Shipping News" to name a few. I enjoy adventure and "light science" nonfiction as well. Music: always Dylan, old blues, lots of world music, regae, and modern like Philip Glass.

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

I saw the Ruins of Angkor Watt before they were mostly destroyed. It was a breathtaking experience.

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

I have been a working artist off and on most of my life and have a lot of technical skills in those areas that I can teach. I am also good at design and "fix it" ideas. I am easy to talk to about even the most personal things if people so desire. I am also a retired teacher and good designer and "fixer upper."

Pays dans lesquels j'ai vécu
