About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Eat good local food and make friends while traveling

ABOUT ME

I am happily married with four adult daughters. Health and intangible wealth is more important to me than money so I QUIT my all-consuming, stressful job to have time to enjoy life more! I now work for American Airlines and can fly all over the world for free :D

PHILOSOPHY

The golden rule

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Surfing or meet ups… my husband is reluctant to host at the moment. But, if you have hosted me in the past, perhaps we can make exceptions.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first CS experience was when my oldest daughter and I surfed on her college road trip. It was so much fun, I wanted to go out and see the world this way. I hosted once, surfed in Jamaica and met up with CSers both in Charlotte and while abroad…..then the pandemic happened. All travel adventures were put on hold. I’m ready to get back to travel in a safe and responsible way! How about you??

Interests

Urban farming/gardening, riding my motorcycle or bicycle, cooking, camping, yoga, live music and conversations around the fire pit.

Music, Movies, and Books

Still searching for a favorite movie! I want to see more independent films before I decide.

Music from around the world via the internet.

Books...I read so many in school, I think I'm allergic! But, I do like reading about the things I enjoy.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Too modest to say.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you about any of my interests listed above. I want to learn what you do for fun, what makes you happy, what gives you a sense of fulfillment in life. Let’s be friends and share adventures together whether on the road or in our everyday lives.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A helping hand if you need it.
An ear to listen if you have something to say.
Advice, but only if you ask me for it.
My home when you visit Charlotte, NC!
