CURRENT MISSION

To enjoy life.

ABOUT ME

I am a professional photographer and I love my work! I also enjoy being outside as much as possible walking, cycling, skiing and light hiking. I have often wished to do a long backpacking trip or sea kayak expedition and one day . . . maybe I will. I am a mother of 4 amazing adults, host mother of 4 Serbians and 1 Albanian.

I love meeting people and hearing about their adventures, dreams and life. My heart is always open to making a new friend.

PHILOSOPHY

I live my life based on feelings! There is joy in every day....all I have to do it find it. I love friendships and meeting new people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Would love to welcome you to Iowa and host you in my home.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I do not have any couch surfing experiences YET. I have hosted students from Serbia and Albania that live with me for an entire school year. It has been a wonderful experience sharing my home with them. Now, I want to travel and I believe CS would be a way for me to meet new people and experience new places.
