I neither look nor act my age. I love to edit my son's college papers. I'm funny, I'm compassionate. Extremely empathetic. Honest and genuine. Unusual sense of humor. Generally like to be alone but enjoy meeting new people - especially while traveling. I have two sons (17 & 21).

I like shiny things. Nothing embarrasses me. It's true.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to travel but need to save money. I just found out about couch surfing, and I think it's a great idea. I'm really excited to try it. I'm looking forward to meeting new people in new places and making new friends around the world. Maybe one day they can surf on my couch too. :-)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've jumped out of two airplanes!

On purpose.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have been speaking English for approximately 42 years. I would say at this point I am expert and would love to share my knowledge with you.

I would be very open to learning things about your town or neighborhood - what makes it unique, like the places that nobody goes to but are awesome, or that thing that happened in 1379.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have a great personality.

I haven't had a boyfriend in so long that I can't remember how many years it's been. I honestly don't know. I think it's been three years but I honestly can't remember.

I have a great personality.

But I have a horrific memory.
