CURRENT MISSION

Keep eyes off SCREENS and on the REAL WORLD

ABOUT ME

40-ish mom, yoga teacher, elementary educator, runner, life long learner who loves to meet new people and see new places.
I've always wanted to travel and learn more about other cultures and worlds but something always gets in the way. I'm not interested in touristy travel but learning experiences where we arrive home enriched with a better understanding of the larger world we live in. I'm hoping a little couch surfing will now allow us to go on a few adventures.

PHILOSOPHY

Live simply and enjoy what real life is all about. Get up and get moving. My typical weekend starts with a 10mile Saturday run with friends new and old. Then finding moments with my family and enjoying some relaxation in our backyard.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Not much experience here yet. I'd like to get out in the work with my family and meet new people who can show us the hidden gems of their communities. We do not enjoy fake tourism or chain retail ANYTHING.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent time in Egypt as a kid, climbed the outside of the pyramids and left my sunglasses in a tomb.
