About Me

Currently traveling so not able to host.

Single mom, determined to break free from the mundane routine of our lives and take my children on a slow journey around the world!! Our souls are thirsty to drink up all the knowledge and culture of different countries. We are hoping to go not as tourists, but as students.

My kids and I have been traveling full-time since June 2018 and we are currently settled for a bit in Morocco! We love it here!! But soon we will be back on the road and hope to continue meeting couchsurfers and travel lovers!

HOSTING:

Hosting temporarily in Mirleft.

I have 4 kids but only 3 traveling with me now. They're 14, 9, and 3. When we're at home, we are usually busy having fun! We stay up late and do what we please because we are enjoying our lives. If you need absolute peace and quiet or don't want to engage with children...don't ask to stay!! My children are fantastic; they are curious to learn about the world and the people we come into contact with. We are renting local homes and they come as is, so if you expect a 5 star resort to stay at...don't ask to stay!!

Basically, we are chill as hell, go with the flow type people and if you stay with us, we'll treat you like family. I'll cook for you and tell you about our traveling experiences.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Hoping to meet and make new friends and utilize every resource to make sure we learn the real culture of the places we visit. I'm less interested in seeing touristy stuff and more interested in meeting people and families that can help me get a feel for local culture. If anyone wants to come and stay at my home while we are here, they can!

Interests
