CURRENT MISSION

Traveling, art shows and painting plein aire

ABOUT ME

I currently live in Asheville NC. I grew up in NJ, lived in S. Florida for 17 years and am now enjoying the mountains. Would definitely be interested in a house swap - I have my own house-cleaning business and create jewelry and paintings with the rest of my day. I do some small art shows and have my jewelry in a gallery here in the Asheville area and in the Outer Banks.

PHILOSOPHY

Live and Let Live!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm settled in Asheville now and am looking forward to doing some traveling. Can't be gone for too long of a period - I have two cats. I can host on my couch, as long as someone doesn't mind two kitties!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Elizabeth City in 2010 before coming to the Outer Banks for the first time. It was a great experience and the people were so kind and accommodating! Second time was in Asheville in Fall of 2014. What kind and gracious hosts I had - and the scenery was stunning! Which is why I moved here.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Been to Paris, Hawaii and Rome. Not in that order. Also have hiked Mount Washington in New Hampshire and some of the smaller peaks in New York State. Have lived in San Diego, Fort Lauderdale and most towns in Bergen County NJ. I have a thirst for new venues and adventures. My latest trip was to Ajijic, Mexico, for a root canal. What a wonderful experience. Not only were the dentists top-notch, but the town was so beautiful and the weather glorious! I ache for a return trip!! More dental work, here I come!
