ABOUT ME

I'm about to turn 50 but feel a lot younger. I don't drink but I do like to meet new people. Unfortunately, English is the only language I can truly communicate in, but I promise I am not your typical American. My politics are very left and I have a daily practice of yoga and meditation. I tend to have friends from all over the world and while I can't afford to travel a lot, I do believe that peace could be better achieved through meeting new people than by expecting diplomats to achieve any level of deep understanding.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Very new on the site and was primarily hoping to meet people when I travel to Europe in April. I don't drink, so I'm not the person to ask out for drinks, or to show people around the whole bar scene. I am someone who loves art, music, fresh air, and my city, and I'd be happy to make recommendations for anyone traveling for cultural enrichment. If you are traveling for business, I won't be able to help you much. I don't spend any time downtown and am not much business minded myself.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I was just sent a lovely Sufi song by someone I'm going to show around the area.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I adopted my daughter from Cambodia. She is now studying in Italy. She speaks four languages, and someday she'd like to go to Japan. I'm happy to have raised a citizen of the world.

I do spend time at an AIDS hospice where people are actually getting well and getting to go home. It has taught me that my life challenges are small potatoes.

教，学，和分享

I prefer people who specifically are interested in meeting me and do not send out mass requests to hang out. I'm not someone who enjoys parties, even though I host them for a living. I like poetry and the small beautiful things in life that do not involve a computer screen, no matter how small or smart or convenient.
