About Me

CURRENT MISSION

150 countries before I turn 90!

ABOUT ME

Wow, just realizing how long ago I last updated my profile! It’s been a while since I used CS. I’ve lived in Mexico for almost 4 years now after I’d been location independent aka home free for a few years after a 20-year stint in the U.S. And it is time again to spread my wings and see what life has to offer - the world is our oyster, after all. I’m excited! I hope to meet some of you on the road .. Blessings to all! 🌏🌀✨

I forgot how I got started with CS, but I just love the idea of connecting with fellow traveller from all over the world. I have been living in the US for some years now and almost feel it's time to explore another country.. oh well! :)

I enjoy everything nature has to offer, I go for hikes quite a lot, jog, comb the local beaches, etc. I also love to cook for friends. My passion is photography and when I'm not out photographing or 'working' on some images, I enjoy yoga, or meditation. It grounds me.

PHILOSOPHY

Set your life on fire. Seek those who fan your flames. ~Rumi

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I think that the CS concept is great and I enjoy having people from around the globe come and visit. It's fascinating to see how much in common people have with the most diverse backgrounds.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like all kind of music, movies & books. Everything travel related is always fun. I'm just reading "The Big Leap" by Gay Hendricks.. great read! Fits right into my philosophy of dreaming big and believing into the theme of everything is possible! Other fantastic books: "Half the Sky" by Nicholas D. Kristof & Sheryl WuDunn; "The Blue Sweater" by Jacqueline Novogratz and "Learning to Breathe" by Alison Wright

Teach, Learn, Share

Looking forward to share happy Couchsurfing stories, cook together, laugh until we roll on the floor crying.. you name it! Open to it all, pretty much..

What I Can Share with Hosts

Happy to cook a meal to enjoy over a good conversation or help in any way I can. So far I have found that meeting people with an open heart always renders memorable experiences. No matter how the time together is spent.
