ABOUT ME

Hummm...a closet optimist and romantic, about life, love and beauty. Also practical. I have coal miners and artists in my family - I think that explains a lot. Cannot live without music, art, design, people. I want to maintain the faith I have in people, the older you get the harder that is to do.

PHILOSOPHY

To make any day be a day I am willing to die. (So not to feel regrets, fear, etc.)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Host and Guest: the cycle giving back and receiving.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I grew up with an open door policy and always room for more at the table, I still do that. I have been a member of couchsurfing for only a little while. But I have hosted people here in Kenya: students, intern's, NGO people on way to Sudan,Congo and journalist covering issues in East Africa. Also back home in the US I have hosted people in New York, Chicago and Philadelphia. Anyway sorry I have no direct CouchSurfing references. But I hope once I am settled again to be a Couch to many.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Stayed alive. No really umm I think that seeing the Rift Valley in Kenya is pretty amazing, you can see how this may be the cradle of humanity the beginning of all of us.
