I moved to Vancouver 2 years ago after living in Toronto for most of my life. I love traveling the world - new cultures, new food, new architecture, new landscapes...create new perspectives. I’ve been very lucky to travel to 32 countries and throughout North America. Hope to travel much more...

I’m the mother of two amazing young adults.

I’ve worked at IBM for over 20 years and as an entrepreneur for many years too.

I love meaningful conversations about all aspects of life...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've got a friend in Zimbabwe (originally from the US) who has Couchsurfed for years and so I thought I would try...I have travelled to 32 countries (so far) and I love getting to know locals for a more authentic experience. I've recently moved from Toronto to Vancouver, Couchsurfing might be fun for me now...
