About Me

I'm blessed by God with a wonderful husband, sons, family, and friends. My home and hometown are lovely, but I've always wanted to travel. I grew up on a farm, and we live in a beautiful rural area. I teach, and volunteer.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My son likes to travel, we're building up karma :) and also enjoy meeting interesting people, since we don't currently travel much ourselves.

Interests

Everything 😂I love meeting people. I love learning languages. My favorite things are art, animals, books, nature and travel, when possible. I love cooking and baking. I like gardening, although currently, mine is a bit out of control.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love reading and listening to a diverse range of things...it depends on my current mood...I grew up on traditional Christian music and Gospel...this is my heart music. The music on the radio when I was young was Elvis, The Beatles, Johnny Cash, Metallica...etc...but my mom's big band and Rat Pack are also loved...classical, jazz, and from friends I've found music from around the world... Books are similar .. read all of Dickens collection before I was 14, found Tolkien, loved any horse book I could lay my hands on...history, romance, scifi, fantasy, poetry, religion, philosophy...sort of buffet style reading... as the fancy strikes me

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The birth of our children is the most amazing thing I've ever experienced....except perhaps watching them grow into young men
