About Me

CURRENT MISSION

share my part of Colorado

ABOUT ME

Me and my rescue dogs. Passionate about taking care of the planet. My large gatherings of loud passionate young people protest days are behind me. I gently nudge those near me in the way that I am certain is the best for all of us. I sign petitions. I volunteer with a literacy group teaching English as a second language. 2012 I volunteer at our community garden.
I talk with school children about taking care of our planet.
I am an old hippie

PHILOSOPHY

People to people. It's the only way to make it work. There is room on this planet for all of us.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have hosted many travelers over the past five years. Most are here to see Mesa Verde National Park.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Hosteling trip through Europe. Hitch-hiked with sis and another woman to Canada and around western US (1971) Have only hosted so far, but that is about to change...And change it did. I surfed three couches in Ireland, four couches in England and there is not enough room here to explain the difference between couch surfing and traveling with a tour book. Hints: free hugs campaign, doolin, Ireland, not even on my map....oh and Stacey the labrador
