CURRENT MISSION

To make the world a better place than when I came into it

ABOUT ME

I like pizza and other Italian food, and the following other cuisines: Chinese, American (including Philadelphia junk food), Greek, Mexican, Thai, and Indian. I like movies, theater, modern art and the Impressionists, baseball, softball, volleyball, dancing, etc.

PHILOSOPHY

I have learned that people should do unto others as they would have others do unto them. Also, when life gives you lemons, make lemonade. Finally, see my current mission above.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have told some of my friends about couchsurfing, have donated money to the cause, and would like to have more couchsurfing experiences.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have not yet tried to surf on anyone's couch, but I have hosted many people through couchsurfing. I have also had many years of experience as a host and traveler for Servas, a group that tries to promote world peace through cultural understanding. Servas travelers from all over the world have stayed with me, usually for two nights at a time, and I have stayed with some hosts myself.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like reading John Grisham and Kurt Vonnegut novels, and I have started a novel by Lisa Scottoline. I wouldn't mind writing a novel myself some day, if I had the time. I like rock, blues, some jazz, a little country (e.g., the music from the movie Urban Cowboy), some classical music and opera songs, etc. I like action movies, love stories, comedies, dramas, and most of the films at the Ritz Theaters in Philadelphia.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I saw, on T.V., the Phillies win the 1980 World Series and the 2008 World Series.

I am very good at writing, editing, and proofreading.
