After college my long-term goal was to work at Patagonia Corp in Ventura CA, while I enjoyed the surf, jogging on the boardwalk and yoga in my spare time. It was pretty lovely but my goals changed. I did not want to contribute to the retail waste stream for the duration of my lifetime. I made a career change to dog training/care. I love all of the dogs but my favorite is the bulldog. I moved to Austin eight years ago to complete a dog training internship, met Ezekiel and never left. We were married in January 2013. At that time, I became a step-mom of four children and started growing a business. In fact, we have been sooo busy it took us 3.7 years to take a honeymoon. We just returned from Sayulita, Mx, our first vacation together and Ez's first time out of the country! Now that he has a passport and the kids are a little older (currently they are twin 10 year old boys, 15 year old girl and 17 year old boy) we can travel. Next stop Columbia

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to vicariously live through other travelers in between traveling and be inspired by their relentless seeking and unfettered curiosity.
