I’m a librarian who loves to learn by reading, meeting new people, and having adventures. My small family (husband and young son) love to travel, taste new foods, and make new friends.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new and interesting people and to have more authentic experiences when visiting a new place.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My husband and I built our home with our own four hands (and a lot of help from friends and family.)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach advanced research methods using databases and print materials? Not sure if anyone is into that, but 🤷🏻‍♀️…I can also teach you how to bake a pie or cake from scratch. I’d like to learn Spanish. I can share with guests all the best kept secret local sites to see, including places to swim, kayak and hike.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Personalized reading recommendations! But also, a respectful and positive attitude, open mind, and friendly, kind and helpful disposition. Help with cooking, dishes and plenty of gratitude.
