About Me

I travel very extensively for work and also split my time between residences.
I have two wonderful elementary aged girls that are First Generation on their fathers side. Hubby and I live in the Southwest desert between AZ and NM. Prior to that we spent 5+ years in Texas.

I am originally from Florida, grew up near Disney.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Well, my sister introduced this to me. When I travel I love to meet the locals. They always know the best spots to go and where to avoid.

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy a variety of movies when I have time to watch them. Some of my favorites are the the Notebook, The Help, Dirty Dancing, The Breif...
My fav books are mostly in the genre of Legal Thriller such as John Grisham.
My taste in music is varied as well. I like most types except ones where I can't understand the words.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I believe in giving back to those in the community as well as those with a greater need. I organized a benefit drive for a local youth whom was suffering with a brain tumor. The drive raised enough money to pay off the balance of the medical bills for the family.
I used to own a brick and mortar clothing store, which is funny since I am not a big shopper.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have extensive experience working with the federal govt as well as contracting. I can share how the process of disaster response actually works in light of the current events. I scratch cook however do not bake at all. Would love to learn about different people as well as view points.
