Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing provides open doors to meet new and interesting persons and help to satiate my taste for various cultures on a global scale. Couchsurfing keeps me intellectually attuned to and aware of world events. I view everyone as kinfolk.

Intereses

As family and friends used to suffer through my painful process of eating very slowly, it became apparent that I appreciate and savor good food. Dining also provides opportunity to socialize and interact with other cultures. And since dining is always included in travel, evenings out, entertainment and other social gatherings, eating contributes greatly to all of my interests. I walk regularly and love to swim and dance...

Música, películas y libros

Eclectic taste for music, drama, art and dance provide a myriad of experiences. My favorite movie is "Avatar." It is always a joy to read autobiographies of persons I have met. I harken back to the days of my youth to those tunes listed on the "Hit Parade" of the 1960s, the Big Band Sound as well as Broadway Show tunes to this day.

Enseña, aprende, comparte

It is my privilege to facilitate the learning of critical thinking skills, self acceptance, self awareness and effective living.
