I typically travel solo, I tend to get restless and be a spur of the moment traveller, that being said I don't always have a travel companion, I love the challenge of exploring on my own but I also love meeting people and having shared experiences. I am a late in life adventurer I am a single Mom with two grown sons, they are such amazing people and its crazy wonderful sharing my life with them. I've worked very hard as is common to do, over the years three jobs at once wasn't un common, now that my sons are young men and my career has grown - I have this crazy thing called time to self reflect....who am I what do I want to contribute to this world .... I consciously work every day at being the best version of myself I can be, kind, open and self aware. I have a lovely circle of friends whom I love very much, those connections define me not my career or belongings. I will someday hike the West Coast Trail, and would love to take a writing class. I love live music and the physical sensation of sound!. I love to get lost in fiction, Jeanette Winterson is my fav author! and I love film I almost always associate experiences to films I've seen....Oh this reminds me of that scene in blah bla bla :).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I find it so amazing that people are kind hearted and generous enough to open their home, selves up to assisting others have their best possible travel experience. Makes it feel like a smaller kinder world :)!.
