I'm a flight attendant for a regional airline, based at Chicago O'Hare. I live in Indiana. I have three children and five grandchildren. I've been married to my best friend for 38 years. I love to travel and I'm lucky enough to be able to grab my backpack, hop on a plane and go explore our beautiful world!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love people and when I travel, I'm not interested in just doing the "touristy" things. I want to immerse myself in the culture and really discover what the locals do, where they go, what they eat, where they hang out. I love meeting new people, learning about other cultures, hearing their stories.

Interests

Traveling, spending time with my family, my dogs, hiking, fishing, trying new things, learning, having fun!
