I'm divorced with two children, 12 and 19! I have lived in Peoria IL for the past 15 years. Currently, I homeschool my son and sell consignment from home.
My daughter is in college and I hope to do some traveling experiences with her to broaden her world! There is a confidence that one can develop traveling expecially when visiting with the locals and seeing the world through a strangers eyes. I am so excited about guiding my children in that way!
I am planning to relocated next summer (2017) to pursue a law degree or social work degree (or perhaps I will take the plunge and follow my passion for acting)... Not sure where, yet..., so wish me luck! I hope to maybe do some traveling/surfing and check out some schools in the areas I might be interested in... I like living in big cities (I lived in London for 7 months when I was 22 and it was AWESOME)!

Что привело меня на Couchsurfing

I traveled a lot when I was in my 20's, and then raising a family took priority. Now that my children are older, and my son spends more time with his dad, I hope to be able to do more traveling. I will also be doing some traveling with my nearly 19yo daughter and can't wait to share some adventures with her! I love meeting new people, gaining new experiences, and seeing the world.

Интересы

I love getting to know new people, traveling, sharing stories, laughs, life....

I have an interest in photography.. I've mostly dabbled in portrait photography but I like photojournalism a lot as well and would like to do more with that on travels.

I love to play board/card games (and have an extensive collection of them) and am really good at Boggle!

I enjoy performing and participating in our local community theatre; I am a true thespian!
Acting is my truest passion!

I love to go dancing! Listening to a live band is best, but a DJ will do!!! I am hoping to learn some new dance moves with my wii Just Dance games, lol :)

I also enjoy volunteering and would be interested in doing something here and there on my travels too.

Музыка, кино и книги

Hmmm...

Favorite Music: I enjoy all sorts of music.... Contemporary Pop/Rock, 70's/80's/90's/...., Country, Christian Rock, even some Jazz, Blues, Bluegrass, Techno....

Movies: This is always hard for me... I'm not difficult to please in this department. I enjoy many different movies, Action, Drama, Comedy, Chick Flicks, Disney/Pixar, Thrillers,... Recently saw Pitch Perfect 2 and was dancing in my seat, thinking that I need to see it at the drive-in so that I can get up and dance and sing along!!

Books: Most of my reading is online... Sometimes, I read a magazine or book, or listen to a book on cd... Whatever I'm into at the time is what I'm researching, reading... Otherwise, I like cooking magazines/cookbooks/baking books, How to do/fix/make things for the house, Crafts, Psychology, Law (planning to go to law school), Books/Articles that will make me laugh... I also enjoy mysteries and the Paul Harvey books....

Классная вещь, которую я сделал(-а)

Well, the TWO most Amazing Things I've done are have and raised my 2 beatiful children. I LOVE being a mother and it is the most rewarding experience I have ever had!

Aside, from that.. :)

I have sat in the rink of a cock fight in the Phillipines... I was treated like a special guest since I was the only non-native and girl there. That after white-water rafting with a local and then visiting his family was quite an experience. There are so many other stories that were amazing as well, but that's just one of them!!!
