About Me

Married to a great loving person, Paul. We are both liberal thinkers, I'm a good listener. We both like to talk and meet new people. We love travel and adventure and I love triathlon, my husband cheers me on. He loves tennis, I'm trying to learn. Check out our Biological Age Coach facebook page.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Originally, I got stuck on a business trip overnight and hotels were all full, that's how I discovered couchsurfing. Here's my update since I started on Couchsurfing. My husband and I planned a trip to Italy and Spain last summer and used Couchsurfing as a fun way to meet locals with common interests such as hiking, biking, swimming, exploring nature and sharing the culture with locals instead of a tour guide... we'll did tours too but we want to experience life the way locals do and save money. We met amazing people (check out our friends)

We hosted several couch surfing guests in our home and it was a great experience! We look forward to meeting many more interesting people from around home and around the world.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you about the sport of triathlon, how to train, find a coach, and I can train with you. My husband and I can also teach contact improvisation dance. He can teach tennis. I can teach about bird watching and botany. I can also learn about all of those things from anyone with the common interest.

Of course we want to learn the local language. I already have some experience speaking Spanish but it is a struggle, hope to practice before we get to Spain.
