CURRENT MISSION

Incorporate more travel into my life (and husbands) To jolt myself into more experiences and live in the present and full!! More people, More stories, more experiences

ABOUT ME

Im a young 51 yrs, married, self employed and enjoy travel and new cultures, peoples stories, I"m spiritual, analytical and like to have fun and new experiences. Its all about the experience. Im also calm and introspective, enjoy yoga and quiet settings. I"m connected to the land as oppose to the ocean and love to hike. I like dogs too.

PHILOSOPHY

My passion is to empower people to learn, and to know that they CAN do better, achieve more. I believe in humane treatment of animals and specifically I work with dogs. I teach people how to train dogs to live in a humane world (the western world) by using force free training methods that promote trust. I love sharing my knowledge of how to achieve compliance and trust between humane and animal.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

During the summer of 2015 I hosted a coucher surfer for 4 mos. Great experience and upon my 1st 3 nights in Dehli, I couch surfed before moving on to Hardiwar, India.

Interests

I hike/walk allot. I enjoy yoga, traveling and reading about travel and hearing other peoples life stories and travels, experiences and spiritual thoughts. I've blogged a little and enjoy writing although it can be tedious sometimes.
I coach people with dogs through classes and private sessions. My specialty is reactive dogs.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've achieved my dream to see Africa, or parts of it: Kenya and Zimbabwe. Been to Costa Rica and drove down the Baja Coast for 2 weeks. Kissed humpback whales and have been charged by an elephant. In my early 20's I backpacked through Europe for 4 mos. Took a solo trip to INdia and Nepal in Nov., 2014. Best thing I've ever done for myself! HIghly recommend traveling alone.
2016: 2 weeks down to Utah for Zion and Bryce National parks. Great hiking and fantastic scenery.
