I am a single mom of an awesome 13 year old son. We'd like to meet and host people when they come to town and show them around. I have the weekends free (from my son and work) and I would love to give visitors a tour of Lexington. One of my favorite things to do is walk around downtown.

I have done a bit of traveling myself and I usually try to stay in unique places. Hostels, tree houses, castles, lighthouses, bed and breakfasts, guest houses, and tents :)

Perché sono iscritto su Couchsurfing

To offer my house as a safe place and my services as a guide around Lexington, Ky and to network with people who live in places I am traveling to. I like to meet up with like minded people when I travel so they can show me the things I would be interested in. Every now and then I like touristy stuff, but I'd usually rather see the "real thing".

Interessi

I like non-fiction, indian food, big spaces, little noise, jewelry (particularly earrings), talking to one person at a time, being warm, original ideas that make a difference, being behind the camera, flip flops, doing things with my hands, reading with my boy, sleeeeeeep, books on tape/podcasts, crossword puzzles, dry red wine, changing the world, jigsaw puzzles, ukulele, going places.

Musica, film e libri

I have entirely too many books and I regularly visit the used bookstore near me. There is no way I will read all that I have, but it is comforting to have an array of books around me as options. I like movies, but rarely find time for them. Mostly documentaries or old movies. Music-wise I love Gillian Welch, Avett Brothers, OCMS, Jenny Lewis, Wilco.... and pretty much everything from the 80's on back.

Una cosa incredibile che ho fatto

Helicopter ride over Kauai.

Insegna, impara, condividi

I can teach a little ukulele. I can discuss politics at length. I can talk about books and social issues for hours. I will walk and walk and walk until you think you can walk no more. I want to learn french or spanish. I want to learn about other cultures. I would like to have real conversations and I'm even up for debates. I will share whatever I have to give.
