CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I live through my heart and am constantly living my life in a way that will move me in the direction of more heart opening. I am easy going always seeing the positive bright side of life... seeing that the cup is half full..not half empty.
I think of myself and others as flowers of love essence that anyone can take a whiff if they so choose... or walk by without sniffing if they choose. Of course my task is to stay centered in my own love energy whether or not someone chooses to sniff or engage with me or not.

PHILOSOPHY

do unto others .....

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

follow my heart...sometimes in front of the line, sometimes in the center, sometimes at the end... but not afraid to be in line...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

great... jen was hitchhiking from Idaho but never made it to my home getting caught in thunderstorms, sleeping under a bridge, and having the same guy promise rides twice and be a no show both times (how bad is that?) ... but we became friends over the many phone calls along the way and now she feels like an old friend and is more than welcome to stay over next time....hi jen!

And hung out with Marco from Amsterdam for about 2 months in Mazunte, Mexico and he was an ardent Couchsurfer and turned me on to the whole adventure!

Interests

I love meeting open hearted people and gravitate toward experiences that fulfill me in that way. I love eating good food with good friends...not expensive, but healthy and delicious. When eating one meal, i often am thinking and planning what my next meal will be... not that this is a good habit... but it is the truth :-)

I am not a big drinker of alcohol... i do not have judgements about drinkers but i have never found bars to be my cup of tea...in Mexico this year, i started drinking a beer with dinner... no judgement.. just felt right and went with the food....delicious!

i enjoy quiet time with people..even sitting in silence...although i can be very gregarious when the time is right.

Retired at 40.....whew...amazing! and what a relief!

Numerous near death experiences...mainly around or in water...Sri Lanka, Thailand, the Caribbean..

i try to make my most amazing things, what are perhaps the most mundane to others...like...just getting up in the morning...and ...
breathing itself is amazing...and walking and seeing and feeling and all the things i sometimes forget and take for granted until i see those less fortunate..
