CURRENT MISSION

to live life anew.

ABOUT ME

Articulate, friendly, down to earth. I make great pasta puttanesca that I will share with anyone. I love hearing stories, learning and sharing some of my own. I have been the jam to my family's sandwich - and I feel it's time to loosen things up and try new things. I believe in elasticity.

PHILOSOPHY

live life with an open heart and inclusive of others. Be kind, of use and give back.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

by listening to my cousin's couchsurfing stories, and thinking this is a great idea.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Moving to NYC in the 80s afforded me years of couchsurfing experience until I finally got my needle-in-a-haystack lease. And laughing at jokes in Prague, told in Czech, which I didn't understand, but somehow got.

Interests

I love travel, backroads, the wilderness, my family, my dog, friends, bookstores, the NYTimes, NPR, beachcombing, great movies, old cars, great conversation, the physics of when to accelerate on a curve, cooking, being on the ocean, and this little cabin on the Strait of Juan de Fuca.

Music, Movies, and Books

fondness for good chick flicks (ode to Nora Ephron); films w/depth: The Reader, Never Let Me Go. Films that are perfect: Sweetland; and occasionally suckered by a big summer flick: World War Z. Music: from Steven Reich to Macklemore.
