"About mes" are always difficult to write. I am always changing and enjoy going back and looking at what I wrote a couple of years ago. I enjoy reading and walking. I have a budding relationship with my cousin's children who are 6 and 8. I'm really enjoying that. I have a number of advanced degrees, economics, business and law, but have not done particularly well in those areas. They are too competitive for me. I'm more creative and like to share and see everyone around me thrive. I am currently writing a book about Airbnb and trying to buy a house in the Bay Area, which may actually never happen. I am open to it happening or not... Just giving it a try.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to share. I love to travel. I love meeting people and getting to know them. I like the intimacy of strangers.

Music, Movies, and Books

My musical tastes vary - I love Coltrane and the jazz of the fifties and sixties. I am a big fan of Leonard Bernstein, Aaron Copeland and the American composers. Loved the Pet Shop Boys back in the day and heard some old Rolling Stones at breakfast this morning that had me smiling. So sad that Tom Petty died. Bummer... Loved his music and his standing up for his politics.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Walked the Camino de Santiago from France all the way to the ocean.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm interested is sharing stories and whatever else comes along. I enjoy sharing what I know and learning.
