CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I GREW UP WITH 4 BROTHERS NEAR SEASIDE NJ.AND BOYNTON BCH , FL. I LOVE TO SAIL, BOAT, FISH, OR JUST BE BY THE WATER. I HAVE A GREAT FAMILY WITH 5 CHILDREN ALL OVER 21, PLUS A FRIENDS CHILD THAT WE RAISED WHICH MAKES 6.
I AM SINGLE, I OWN AND LOVE HORSES, BOTH RIDE AND DRIVE. USUALLY YOU WILL FIND ME DANCING TANGO A LEAST ONE NIGHT A WEEK. ON WEEKENDS I DISPLAY MY ARTWORK AT FESTIVALS AND ART SHOWS. I TAKE A CAMERA WITH ME WHEREVER I GO...ALWAYS LOOKING FOR THE NEXT PAINTING TO DO. I AM A FULL TIME ARTIST, ILLUSTRATOR, LICENSING DESIGNER AND ART TEACHER. I LOVE TO TRAVEL AND MEET PEOPLE.

PHILOSOPHY

BE MY BEST, THINK THE BEST, LOOK AT THE HEART OF OTHERS , BE SLOW TO TAKE OFFENSE AND QUICK TO LISTEN, SHARE NOT GIVE ADVICE & IDEAS. IT IS BEST TO TAKE ONE DAY AT A TIME, LOVE, LIVE ,LAUGH, PRAY, PLAY AND GIVE THANKS OFTEN.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

WE ALWAYS HOSTED FOREIGN STUDENTS WHEN MY CHILDREN WERE IN SCHOOL. IT OPENED THEIR WORLD AND OURS TO ADVENTURES AND OTHER CULTURES. I JUST RECENTLY JOINED CS AND MY FIRST EXPERIENCE WAS WONDERFUL. MY GUEST WAS FROM ENGLAND, WE HAD A LOT TO SHARE AND ENJOYED THE TIME.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

SO FAR JUST THE ONE VISIT TO MY HOME WHICH WAS A FIRST FOR BOTH OF US, IT WORKED OUT VERY NICELY AND WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO NEW GUEST IN THE FUTURE.
