CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I like to talk for hours about nonsense. Music moves my soul. Travel consumes my every thought & dream. I have been to 15 countries...
I'm a mom. A dreamer. An artist. A muralist. A gardener. I upcycle anything!

I love adventures! Yoga...Camping...Hiking...kayaking..... I'm truly blessed to have such an amazing adventurous free-spirited life! My husband & I recently moved to SEATTLE!! A huge dream come true & we're loving every single minute!!

I'm outgoing & friendly...I love meeting new people, especially like-minded people that I can talk to. I believe life is about happiness... honesty... hugs... laughter... & maybe even making a few life-long friends along the way...as I have on cs.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

After surfing over 25 couches in Europe, we were blessed to have our new friends, the "3 Belgians" stay with us...It was so special to surf with Jasper in 2006 in Belguim, then have him stay with us in Southern California a year later!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went to AFRICA in 2008. Safari in South Africa! Island hopping in Madagascar...2 wonderful weeks in EGYPT!
I went to Europe in 2006. I was there 4 months total (2 1/2 solo). I saw 9 countries & couchsurfed with more than 25 wonderful & generous people!

I went to New Zealand for a month in 2004. My first trip. Ever. Solo. It was only the beginning....

Teach, Learn, Share

I wish everyone took just one trip. Next week. Nothing major...perhaps a 3 hour drive somewhere. Let go, leave your cell phone at home. No kids. No work. Nothing... Get away from the everyday hustle & bustle... All the stress, the bills, the traffic. FORGET ABOUT IT ALL FOR ONE DAY & YOU WILL SEE WHAT HAPPINESS LIFE CAN HAVE, YOU MAKE YOUR OWN FATE, YOU MAKE YOUR OWN HAPPINESS....
Be one with nature, smell fresh air, forget all about the worries & troubles in this world, just for one day...& ENJOY LIFE.
