I am a mature, well-traveled woman who enjoys meeting people from all around the world. Running an Airbnb in Canada and have room for a "couch surfer" in my home.... I remember the tight-budget days of my own extended student life.

It is my custom to make guests feel welcome and comfortable while visiting. I am also available to spend a lot, a little, or virtually no face time with guests - - their preference. We all have different levels of need for privacy and alone time.

Typically, I travel on a budget and enjoy seeing new places from the vantage point of the "locals" there.
