I love to travel, but sadly I don't get to do it often enough - due to, you know, responsibilities! I am a creative / art director in an advertising agency which I partly own, and am a mother of 3 adult children who still stay at home with me. I'm a little crazy and outgoing. I love meeting people from all over the world. I am a killer cook, so you may get lucky with one of my inventions.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would love to meet people from all over the world. Plus I have a couch or two. In doing the math, its logical to offer up my couches. As for myself, I have not CS'd yet, but plan to at some point soon. It'll make an interesting change from fancy hotels and B&Bs, and hopefully I'll make some new global friends.

Music, Movies, and Books

Love music from the 70s and 80s, including classics like Dire Straits, Fleetwood Mac, Led Zepplin, Clapton, Joplin, Hendrix, Queen and Rolling Stones. Love current music too - and getting into Indie Rock these days.

I've watched too many movies and read too many books to choose a favourite.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

How can I choose only one?! C'mon CS! Well, there are no rules here, so my top five things I've done are
1. Create, carry and nurture life, three times.
2. Quit my high flying corporate career to start a business.
3. Traveled to interesting places - and on every trip, I did something that I never did before, deliberately.
4. Left a 25 year marriage despite being terrified of the future.
5. Reinvented myself, which I'm kinda still doing.
