PLEASE READ: IF YOU ARE A MALE TRAVELER WITH NO REFERENCES, I WILL NOT HOST YOU. I am a home birth midwife that loves to travel the world. I' m also a wife, mom of 4 and step mom of 1. If you stay with us, you will be welcomed into a FAMILY HOME with my husband and myself and two college age sons. (our other kids are all married and living on their own.) I love meeting new people and learning about you and your life and culture. I care for families wanting a more holistic birth experience out of the hospital. I love what I do and the families that I meet. Living in the Bay Area gives me the wonderful opportunity to meet families from all over the world that are here working in high tech or similar jobs. We do have 2 dogs and 2 cats that are part of our family. Our home is perfectly located roughly 1 hour from San Francisco, Monterey/Carmel, Santa Cruz areas. You will most likely need a car to get around this area.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Flew in a hot air balloon over the red desert of Wadi Rum, Jordan then snorkeled in the Red Sea.

Teach, Learn, Share

I've lived in this area my whole life and love to share the interesting and out of the way secrets of the Bay Area. I've also traveled to most of the U.S. and am happy to give tips or suggestions. I also would love to hear about where you live!
