Priority will be given to surfers who have a full profile and some positive references; if you have a partial or incomplete profile I don't have a way to know who you are.Thank you!

I retired from a civil service job with the judicial system of the State of New York and now do PT work maintaining my home and doing some volunteer work, traveling and getting to know other cultures, visiting archeological sites and dancing. In addition I indulge in walking, reading and physical fitness.
At home prefer quietness and conversation. I live in a private Victorian home in Brooklyn, near Prospect Park , some 20 minutes from Times Square.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Want to help people see the world, as I was helped on occasion. Want to establish a network of friends in case I want to hit the road again, love to converse with people from other backgrounds and points of view. I like to share ideas in a neutral judgment-free style. Willing to host all people who need a couch; however, will give PRIORITY to adults with a full and verified profile. I love surfers who are appreciative and are team players. I want to talk about my life experiences and hear them from you, also. Are you appreciative and don't take things for granted? Then you are my kind of guest.
