CURRENT MISSION

Lifelong learner :)

ABOUT ME

I am a woman who has had the privilege of raising three incredible children who have now flown the coop and I now have the opportunity to do travel and adventure solo. I am a doggo and nature lover, as well as a full-time teacher. I pride myself at taking life by the horns and going for it. Learning through experience is the best life has to offer :)

PHILOSOPHY

I believe in love and respect; for the creator, people and our planet.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’ve had the pleasure of hosting 12 different groups of couchsurfers since 2014, which is pretty good for being in a remote northern community. I love taking my guests out to go aurora hunting and sharing food, drink and stories.

Had an amazing time staying with people on a month-long European adventure. It's always a more authentic experience learning from local experts over a glass of beer or wine. ;)
