I am what we call in the US an empty nester (kids grown), happily married and enjoying more time to explore my own interests of live music and travel. I work full time too but make time to relax and explore the world. I enjoy hiking paddle boarding and seeing natural wonders most! I am open minded to learning new ideas and growing my understanding of different cultures.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on Couchsurfing so I can get a more realistic view of the place people and culture of places I visit. A great opportunity to make new friends!

Interests

I enjoy music and dance, second to spending time hanging out with friends. I love Pilates & TRX to work out, dabble in yoga and have run a few half marathons. I would like to become better at meditation. I like to read, especially memoirs. Memoirs offer a window into lives different from mine in such a personal way.
