CURRENT MISSION

to find humor in everything...to meet everyone on the planet (i might be overreaching a bit there, but i'd like to try!)

ABOUT ME

I am--passionate, funny, silly and sometimes intense; a believer in magic and miracles...although i'm only an amateur singer, music is my greatest passion...i love baseball and collect things related to Winnie-the-Pooh (NOT the Disney version, thank you very much)...I'm a news junkie and can spend hours in used bookstores...I hope someday to be a published author--i've done standup comedy since 1984

PHILOSOPHY

in relationships, one should be a fountain and not a drain...you can learn more from just putting yourself out there and being open to possibilities than from any book (though books are good, too!)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have been lucky enough, in the inevitable periods of struggling that a performer faces, to have great friends throughout the country who have taken me in and given me a couch...when i first heard of this project, i loved the idea and have told hundreds of my closest friends about it...once i get settled, i will open up whatever space i call home to people and 'pay it forward'
