CURRENT MISSION
Only accepting guests with references and verified.

To cultivate a curious, interested attitude towards everyone and everything. To learn to live a fully conscious, embodied existence. To live with joy and passion and humor.

ABOUT ME

I have 2 grown children and 5 grandchildren. I love music, concerts, the blues, rock, pop, country, anything but rap. I love to be outdoors, especially in and on the water. I'm into healthy food, and honest communication, and fun. Dealing w chronic lyme disease has put a damper on my dreams of travel in my older years, but I am slowly recovering. Recovering from trauma. Reducing electromagnetic pollution in my environment and educating others about this topic.

PHILOSOPHY

Live and let live. It's all the same #*&$in day man. (Janis Joplin). Pursue my path and respect others. Don't try to hard to figure it all out, better minds than mine have tried. Comfortable not knowing the bigger picture. Feeling, sensing, intuiting. Resting. Appreciating companionship of others, trying to rise above the common default dynamic of relating. Awareness. Just keep trying. Or stop trying altogether. Ride that See Saw.

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I hosted a couple of guys attending a wedding, and I hosted a couple from Quebec who were into sustainable farming, had been woofing a little, and were visiting Sirius Community in SHutesbury. I hosted a young woman from NYC participating in a farm bike ride in my town.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I haven't surfed yet, I was going to in NYC last year, but it fell through. (update, did cs with a member years ago in Newton mass, i think it was. She was very nice I enjoyed it.) I can be a bit of a loner, so it's hard, I think CS is full of extroverts! But I do like people, and interesting conversation, exchange of ideas and experiences. Then I like to go in my room afterwards, LOL.

Interessen

Exploring Boston, going to theater. Attending lectures. Riding my ebike. Trying new tx for chronic illness and trauma healing.

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

Sold everything and went across the country alone after my kids grew up. Bought an airstream trailer and lived in it in the desert for several winters. On a clear day I could see 12 mountain ranges from my trailer.
Survived massive childhood trauma and successfully parented and grandparented.

Lehren, lernen, teilen

Qi gong, electromagnetic pollution, nutrition. Neuroplasiticity and evolutionary psychology (not an expert, just what I've gleaned from reading).
