Prairie girl based at the foot of the Andes looking out into endless Orinoquía pastures teeming with wildlife an figuring out life in a place that wasn't part of the itinerary.

Life is what you make it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Have couchsurfed in various places and hosted, too. Occasionally attend CS meetings.

Couchsurfed in Eastern Canada, Southern Spain, Eastern Germany and Ireland. We also hosted a couple of people at our place in Edinburgh.

It's a great concept!
