Hi, I'm Deb. I'm 46 years old and have one son in college. I decided to join couchsurfing at the suggestion of my friend, Amanda, who thinks that I would be well-suited for it as I both love hosting and am starting to travel myself.

We have a modest two-bedroom apartment and full living room. When company is here, my son usually gives up his bed and stays with his girlfriend.

I am a firm believer in mi casa / su casa - I like people to feel completely comfortable in my home. All I ask is that you show proper respect in return and leave your shoes at the door and try not to damage any of our belongings :-)

I'm friendly, love music and art, and would be more than happy to take you touring about our fair city, or leave you to your own devices if you prefer (I am, after all, pretty busy, what with being a full-time working mom and part-time student and writer.)

Looking forward to meeting you!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Well, I love to host and to make new friends, and I'm also traveling now and would love to meet new people in new cities as well.

Interests

Music (in particular punk and alternative, but also blues, classic rock and jazz.)
Art (I love going to museums and galleries.)
Theater (as a spectator now, but I used to study.)
Sports (primarily hockey, but I do watch football and basketball sometimes.)
Reality television (guilty as charged, but exclusively cooking, tattoo shows and the Real Housewives.)
