I am a mom of 3 that loves to travel. Can't do it as much as I'd like but I have been on the go for the past few years. I enjoy travel photography and meeting new people. I am currently studying Photography at a local University in home state. I am pretty quiet until I feel at ease with people, but I gel with various personalities pretty well.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on couchsurfing because I heard it's a great place to connect with others while traveling. Also being able to cut cost on accommodations is always a plus.

Interests

Photography, traveling (a given), reading, hanging out with my children, perusing and finding inspiration on the net, and listening to music.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I fed a wild hyena while in Ethiopia. Didn't think much of it until others made a big deal about it. But the more I thought about it, the more it's sunk in how wrong that could have turned. Wouldn't do that again.
