Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My husband and I decided to take separate holidays this summer and he did couch surfing in Scandinavia. He had an AMAZING experience. I want that too! Plus, we thought it could be fun to host in part to expose our kids to new people, cultures and philosophies.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Breast cancer survivor and completed a full marathon. Not in that order.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach English (have done it in two countries), cooking, and dancing around like an idiot in your living room. I’d love to learn anything you’d want to teach me! I’m particularly interested in exploring Buddhism at the moment.

What I Can Share with Hosts
