I am originally from Uniontown, Pennsylvania. My husband from Pensacola, Florida. Somehow we both found ourselves in West Virginia. We met there, fell in love, and were married in that beautiful state. Now we live in Fort Collins, Colorado.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We love making new friends, and we really want to learn more about local culture than we could just hitting the tourist traps.
