CURRENT MISSION
***Update as of June 30th 2023***
I am currently gearing up with my friend Sarah for a road trip around France and Switzerland starting in Paris July 7th and then stopping wherever we choose until the 24th. I'll be 6 months pregnant, so I may not be as adventurous as my usual travel, but I'm excited to explore and meet locals.

ABOUT ME

Retired pole vaulter. Teacher on hiatus, vintage seller, and traveler. Mom of 2 rad little dare-devils. Usually traveling together as a family with husband, kids, sometimes dog, and me! :)

I'm very active and I love being outdoors- HIking, swimming, climbing, surfing, cycling, exploring, you get the idea...

That being said I'm also a pretty big geek. Sci-fi is my jam for TV and movies and I love to read. British lit major newly enthralled by American Transcendentalists.

PHILOSOPHY

Well, that's a deep topic and one I have done much thinking on and could go for days about...but I won't

My personal philosophy is to be kind. Seriously, that's the most important thing in life. Kindness and acts of positivity are contagious.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I used couchsurfer while in Europe and loved the experience. I was able to see things I may have overlooked on my own and had a wonderful time hearing about other people's travels.

I have also welcomed people to join us for activities like wakeboarding and tubing, mtb, and other shenanigans.

I've been couch surfing for years though... :P Now I have a site that makes it a little easier!

Interests

Anything active, outside, adventurous, involving travel.

Music, Movies, and Books

All music with a special taste for classic rock and classical. Wide range of movie and TV likes, especially action and sci-fi fantasy geek stuff. I tend to enjoy the historical fiction genre most when reading, but I'll pretty much read anything you put in front of me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The Husb (Kasey) and I scootered all the way around Maui and explored the jungles there. We camped out on beaches, got lost,surfed, tumbled down mountains, found hidden waterfalls, and put 700 miles on our scooters in 2 weeks.

Summer 2014 my husband and I traveled through Europe to compete in various pole vault competitions for a little over three months. The experience gave me the opportunity to visit 11 different countries, 6 coastlines, climb 2 mountains, compete in around 30 meets and events, and experience things I never thought I would be able to.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to talk about anything I feel can be analyzed. It can be deep like literature, religion, politics, world views, or a little more trivial like tv and movies.

My husband and I also tend to be very active so if you want someone to adventure with, we are down!

I also dig cooking and am ready and willing to do so upon request.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love to cook and share experiences. Let's see what happens!
