ABOUT ME

I am the coodinator of all things FUN! I am the one who connects groups of people to travel, have parties and have adventures of all kinds. I am an academic coordinator for foreign exchange students from other countries and have recently hosted a girl from Brazil and a girl from Belgium for a year. I sell Real Estate in the Austin and Central Texas area, so I am a pretty good tour guide. I love to travel, help people and I am a true dog lover. I am a water lover and like all activities in or near water. Lakes, rivers, oceans or swimming pools...I am there! I also love to dance and listen to all kinds of music. I'm curious,kind and enthusiastic about life. I love meeting people and learning about other cultures.

PHILOSOPHY

Making a difference in others lives always makes a difference in my life. I am a very spiritual person and enjoy learning about others spiritual journeys. Life is for living and learning and loving!

I am open to hosting guests on my couches and will always try to be as helpful and accommodating as possible. My house is very casual, so you will feel right at home here... make yourself comfortable and enjoy Texas!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have traveled through Italy staying at hostels in Rome and on Couches in Sicily and in campgrounds near Venice. I have stayed at many friends places all over the United States and I lived in Hawaii for a few months subletting a friends condo. I have stayed on couches in Monterrey Mexico with friends I met while visiting Laredo. I understand spanish pretty well, but don't speak it well. I have always opened my home to others and many people call my place the
"Franklin Inn".

Music, Movies, and Books

I am a self-help junkie and enjoy books about spiritual awareness and personal growth. I am always seeking my purpose in this universe. I don't have much patience with movies, but some of my favorites are Dirty Dancing, As Good As It Gets, and My cousin Vinny.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am an open book and a sponge for knowledge....let's celebrate our differences and enjoy our time together... life is short.
