About Me

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am joining Couchsurfing for a myriad of reasons. The first is back to my reference of “riding the waves” again as I crave connection, being a part of a community, long to travel, want to experience more life so I have more of the good, kind and compassionate parts of myself available to put out into the world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Amazing? Me? Hmmmm. Being a mother is a ‘lame’ answer I suppose but I think because my daughter was born without a ventricle and had seven open heart surgeries before age 3, it makes it amazing. She is amazing so maybe that’s selfish of me but she is my dearest love, now 23, though I have learned through experience (and therapy lol) I make a larger impact, show more leadership and strengthen relationships by taking care of myself/taking actions to better my lifestyle.
So, the second half of the answer might be the “amazement” I feel when I am willing to make space for the new experiences, people, places, + opportunities to give back to the planet, community or am able to help just one person one way or another. I have done that most of my life BUT in the last year I feel myself in [even fearfully] stagnant waters and am ready to ride waves.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have a large living room off the kitchen/family and full bath with a fenced backyard and front porch to offer in a three bedroom house in midtown Little Rock.
I am a minimalist but love and care for my things especially my linens! Which I have an abundance of as well as just about anything one could forget!
I cook, do yoga, run, watch television when I can, have an iPad and WiFi available as well.

Countries I’ve Visited

Cayman Islands, Jamaica
