I'm a mother of 4 amazing kids (ages 18, 15, 10 and 6). I also have a 16 yr old foster son. My passion in life is to help teens find their journey in life. I have been working with teens for over 20 years. Currently I work as a senior local coordinator for STSF exchange student program. I am also the activities director for the students and mentors. I do leadership training fo the mentors and guide them through community service projects and how to plan activities. I'm also the COO for Neckup Checkup, owner of Onti's Mobile Notary, Onti's Curb and Landscape and Onti Sol Mexican Food Catering. My house is always full of kids.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting new people and learning about different cultures. I would much rather stay with new friends than in a hotel where we are tucked away from everyone. I also love cooking and would love to have the ability to cook while away from home.
