I am 57 and I have a 25 year old daughter. I worked with International High School students. We have hosted teens from Slovakia, Thailand, Spain, Brasil, Germany, Italy, and Australia. In addition, I have supervised dozens of students from around the world while they were in USA. We have loved sharing our home with people from different cultures.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Having opened our home to many people from around the world, it would be fantastic to have similar experiences ourselves. My daughter and I traveled around the world for 2 months in 2016. We are not wealthy people. We visited our exchange students. My favorite part about world travel is meeting the people and learning their culture and lifestyle.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

That depends on what you think is amazing! World travel is amazing to me. I've also cared for both of my parents in the last years of their life. As a lifeguard, I saved 3 people from drowning. I've rescued dogs and horses and found homes for them.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my love of life, people, and laughter. I would be happy to cook an American meal for them.
