CURRENT MISSION

To live life to the fullest. Enjoy every moment with family and friends.

ABOUT ME

I am a wife of 25+ years and mother of a 21+ year old son. I hosted and then "pseudo-adopted" a daughter from Thailand in 2001, when she was 15. I am a generally happy person. I am a staff member at a democratic boarding and day school. I am outgoing and friendly. I am fully engaged in life and whatever I am doing at the moment. I am dependable, caring, responsible, and fun.

PHILOSOPHY

Live life to the fullest. Walk gently on the earth. Consume less, share more.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Would love to host more. Come stay with my family and see the rural mountain life of West Virginia.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Many of my friends and family are couch surfers and I have met some other CS through those family and friends. I have hosted individuals and families from around the world with other organizations. I have traveled many places and camped or stayed with friends. I love the CS project. 2012 was my first surf experience and I will continue to both surf and host.
