CURRENT MISSION

Be happy- travel, engage in "work" that I love.

ABOUT ME

I have been blessed to create my life, one that challenges me. I also have time to relax, enjoy friends and work. My health and well-being comes first, hence I enjoy a lot of activity and being outdoors, and I thrive on nature.

Most of all I enjoy sharing; sharing with people, sharing culture, and discovering how to further create more great experiences. I enjoy hiking, swimming, yoga&meditation, cycling and travel. I've been to 12 countries and will continue to experience more of this Earth~

My life is anything but conventional. I had had numerous work and travel experiences. Had a daughter at 23, went into the US Air Force for 6 years then decided to go back to school and finish my BA in global studies at 32. Since 2008 I have been going to China and that's what's going on now.

PHILOSOPHY

Create, Expand, Enjoy

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Really great, the people who I've connected with have been generous and gracious. What a great community!
