I've recently become a wifey, a homeowner, and mommy. Although my husband has never tried Couchsurfing himself, he is intrigued by my stories and willing to participate. We both love meeting new people and swapping stories. We do a lot of biking and enjoy trying fancy beers.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've surfed in Russia and Mongolia...it's by far the best way to travel. Since I've been back to Iowa, I've been a host several times. I never thought anyone would be surfing in Iowa, so I'm always very happy to host here!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couchsurfed in Mongolia and Russia while taking the Trans-Mongolian Railway...greatest travel experiences of my life! I love to share and swap travel stories with fellow Couchsurfers.
