About Me

CURRENT MISSION

My mission will be to provide fellow travelers with a home away from home.

ABOUT ME

I am a native Vermonter with a passion for people. I am very outgoing and kind. I work hard but I make time for my family, friends and pets. They are my first priority. I love life and all it has to offer. I love a good story. I am employed as a Massage Therapist which gives me all the time in the world to do what I love. I have a flexible but unpredictable schedule. I'm always doing something. Reading, going to a concert, being outside, traveling or hanging out with friends. I have one life to live so I make the best of it.

PHILOSOPHY

I try my best to listen to others and to not pass judgment. Everyone has a story to tell and if you don't listen you might miss it.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My favorite experience was when I went on tour with a band here from VT. We stayed with several families in our travels. We didn't have accommodations lined up but we had faith that we would meet people along the way. We always had a place to lay our heads at the end of the day.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was living in NC there was this meteor shower that was only visible on the East Coast and it was the biggest one of our lifetime. Something like 100 meteors per minute. My friend and I hiked up to the highest peak we could think of which was over the border in VA. The mountain was completely flat at the top and you could see Roanoke twinkling in the distance. The meteors were so close that you could hear them come whizzing by. Some exploded like fireworks. We spent the whole eavning with our heads turned to te sky. Amazing.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am mostly skilled in Massage Therapy and Meditation and I'm willing to share that knowledge. I am also teaching myself to play the guitar. I would love to study Ayruvedic Medicine, herbalism, glass blowing and photography.
