I am a woman with many interests and abilities...from cooking amazing meals, brewing and sampling craft beer, exploring wild areas, enjoying excellent coffee and contributing to a small footprint on my planet.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I need a place to stay when temps fall below 32 degrees at night this winter, as I am newly transitioning to van living. I operate a blog, as this is a conscious choice to save money and not contribute to the failing rental market in Colorado.

I am a single woman, looking for occasional lodging for me and my older, friendly cattle dog. We would need a private bedroom and space to cook. I am self-employed and can offer personal assistant services in exchange for a furnished & warm space. Thank you!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I backpacked across Mt. Haleakala in Maui, while unknowingly pregnant, and woke in the middle of the night to a monsoon storm. When I reached the Road to Hana after hiking down 9 miles, my soggy backpack weighed nearly 100 pounds. I feel ill for several days immediately after, but it was a fantastic story to share with my daughter...who is now 17 years old!

What I Can Share with Hosts
