Hi, We live on a small horse farm with approx 20 horses. We have people coming and going on the farm on a daily basis to take lessons and visit with the animals. We also live on a lake so in the summer, you can use the kayaks and in the winter you can ice fish. I grew up in Florida but love the rural and peaceful setting of WI. I teach horseback riding lessons, host YMCA overnight camps, and work with special needs children.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I enjoy traveling. I have traveled to Europe by myself and enjoy seeing new places. As my children get older, I hope to have more time to travel and also take them to see new places as well.

Interests

I enjoy teaching and working with people as well as horses. Another great interest is supporting my daughters in their musical careers. I also enjoy reading, a glass of wine, hiking, kayaking, fishing, going to new places, sight seeing, and going on the river.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've been blessed with many opportunities and truly an amazing life. I'd say- God is good. I have four beautiful children, I wrote a book, traveled Europe by myself, Went to Russia, and Africa. And recovered from a broken neck with no complications... See- I'm blessed.

Teach, Learn, Share

I teach people how to build confidence through riding horses. I am neither introverted nor extroverted- I'm right in the middle. I can be quiet if I am unfamiliar with a topic but a good listener.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am a happy person and people find me easy to get along with. I am easy to talk to. I can cook a little- not a lot. :) I'm just easy going more than anything.
