ABOUT ME I am currently living with my boyfriend of over 4 years. We love to have fun and meet new people. I am also a mom of two beautiful children who split their time between me and their father. I work in GIS which is the study of maps and was fueled by my passion for travel and the outdoors. I love traveling, but since I have to stay put for the moment, I would love to hear about and live vicariously through all of your stories :) PHILOSOPHY "Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever." -Mahatma Gandhi The BEST quote I have ever heard.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING Spent the summer traveling and was welcomed by many open arms. Now it's my turn to be the host...can't wait to meet new people from all over the world. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE I have couchsurfed in Bangor, Maine, and with some friends in NYC. Ziplined with my hosts in The Great Smoky Mountains and had a very gracious host help me out at the last minute in Cali. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

One Amazing Thing I've Done

MY trip over the summer is one of the the most amazing thing I've done thus far. (besides the miracle of life, of course, but I can't really take credit for that one :) I've seen 16 states, hiked for the first time and visited a city that pulses through every vein in your body as soon as you step foot onto the bustling street, and went backpacking ALONE. Every day an amazing thing is calling me to be done/seen. Life is Sweet:-)
