I have hosted people through house groups for years, this is the first time I am surfing abroad.
I love riding bikes, dancing with a troupe called The Sprockettes, and having various adventures.
I am a welder, working with mostly structural steel and building ships. I own goats and a nonprofit using animals for therapy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As much as I love hostels where you meet travelers, there is something truly special about staying in a home of a local. I would love to have individual experiences with people who know the culture, the history, and region.
Being a tourist is fun, but I want to know the places I visit on a deeper level.

In my past homes we offered hosts a large, strange family with our unique views and inviting home. I seek to find that in other parts of the world.

And I want to cook!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

So many amazing things I have experienced. I would love to share them with you! But to write one, we'll go with the travel theme. ;)

It took me 7 years and many different strange trips, but I have been to every state in the USA. Trust me when I say, it's like many different countries in ways.

I am a great cook, have lots of stories, and would love to share both with hosts.
