CURRENT MISSION

Experience the joys, challenges, cultural history and stories of the voices of the Americas.

ABOUT ME

I love to cook and host people and make them feel welcome, cozy and well-fed. I also appreciate having personal space to just be quiet, read, garden, exercise, watch a movie, or when I'm traveling, just observe. The world is big and I want to get to know as much of it as I can in a deep way that moves me and helps me grow. I love sharing stories and getting to know new people one on one.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I haven't participated yet but I tell people about it and that they should sign up. I would like to host but we have a one bedroom apartment and my husband is not into hosting since our space is really small.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've heard great things about it!
