CURRENT MISSION

To explore as many corners of the world as possible in my current lifetime learning about my place in a global community.

ABOUT ME

Hello fellow Couch Surfers! I was so excited when my friend told me about this website and I can't wait to meet you all! A little bit about me...I am a single mom of four wonderful kids, two boys and two girls ranging in ages from 18 months to 14 years old. We LOVE to travel together and meet new people.

My personal philosophy has changed as I get older. Now I'm all about making my life experiences as fulfilling as possible. I cherish every moment I get with my friends and family, old and new. Laughter is the key to happiness, so do it as often as possible! I am a really laid back person who loves to hear all the amazing stories and background of the people I meet on a day to day basis.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I surf and host, and love to host families with children.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had such a great time staying with other CS families in Europe in the summer of 2010. We stayed with families from Kenya, Egypt, Germany, and London. I also hosted a CS college student from England for a month. I love the CS community and have met such amazing people in the process!

Interests

I enjoy hanging out with friends, reading, hiking or anything outdoors (Colorado is the perfect place for being outdoors!), dancing (have been a dancer my whole life), meeting new people, ice skating, science (biology and astronomy--was a Bio major in school), anything involving spending time with my beautiful children, and of course....traveling! I stopped adding countries to the "Places I Want To Visit" tab because I just would've been selecting them all! There isn't a place on this planet I wouldn't want to see!

Music, Movies, and Books

Yes...like movies, music, and books. However, I have too many favorites of them to list here. I guess it's better to list what I "don't" like because that is a much shorter list. Movies: don't like action, war, or bloody movies. Music: not a huge fan of heavy metal. Books: I am more picky here. Not a particular genre that I do or don't like, but the author has to be a good writer and catch my interest.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

3 things come to mind...
1) The birth of my children
2) Watching the lava in Hawaii go into the Pacific Ocean and cool. Creation in the making...divine!
3) Swam with Dolphins in Mexico. Such amazing creatures!
4) Touched the stones at Stonehenge

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share my love of music (if I have my instruments with me) and dance. I would love to learn about others viewpoints about and any languages! If you are a dancer, I would love to learn about that too.
