The most obvious thing about me is that I am a mom of four kids. That is where I invest most of my time. I am also a substitute teacher. I also love reading, especially non-fiction about science related topics because I am a bit of a nerd. I love running. Sometimes running is my church. I volunteer as a Guardian as Litem with foster care. Getting kids into loving families is something I am pretty passionate about.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm interested in meeting new people, and getting to know them in a real way. I think that happens fastest when you are exposed to a person's home and life.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My family is fairly involved with our local circus community. We can introduce you to some flow arts like poi and Diabolo, and possibly some aerial arts like silks. We would be happy to take you out to our local circus studio and show you where you can do ecstatic dance or acro yoga among other things.
