CURRENT MISSION

see the world before we fall off it's flat surface

ABOUT ME

I will mostly want to learn about you, where you've gone, what you've seen, what languages you've learned and the best food you've eaten. Then I will see if I can copy the "best of" and set off into the sunset finding it. I travel with my husband, a backpack, a moleskin, a camera and an appetite.

PHILOSOPHY

Have no fear! The universe will assist those who are in search of their destiny.

R.L.Stevenson once said: "“I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel's sake. The great affair is to move.” If you can't move in the physical world, move in your imagination, but MOVE.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I spread the word of the "gospel"...which is being a good, honest person. Cliche, but I believe to be true, that we can all live in peace and harmony. A simple smile can change someone's day.

Interests

Music- many many kinds. Foreign/indie movies, great wine & chocolate, languages, the beach, swimming, walking, yoga. EATING. 3 star Michelin restaurants or the simplicity that nature offers in a freshly cracked coconut, a shucked oyster, or a peach pulled right from the tree.
