CURRENT MISSION
To never stop exploring and learning while making time to do the things that light me up and bring me joy. To give my critters the best possible life!

ABOUT ME
I consider myself easy going and laid back, I enjoy reading, gardening and yoga. I appreciate live theater and exploring. I play fast pitch softball in a ladies league during the summer. I have a flock of laying hens and enjoy gardening. I live in a very rural area, but it's beautiful!

I traveled across Europe when I took my undergraduate degree. I've done my fair share of hitch hiking. I've camped out of my car and in a bivy across Newfoundland and hiked/did a water fall hunt in New Brunswick out of my car one winter. I did a great road trip from San Diego around to the Grand Canyon and back. I enjoyed Utah/Arches- I always make time for travel.

Please mention you saw the code phrase: blue babboon and I'll know you've read my profile.

PHILOSOPHY
I believe one should choose to be kind and to pay it forward. Travel is good for the soul. That being said, I get lots of requests for people to stay, personalizing your request to stay will go a long way!

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have landed on peoples couches while traveling a variety of places, and have since hosted people in my home.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have been hosted by wonderful people while traveling Europe, most notably Francesco in Rome! I have since hosted surfers and I truly enjoy offering them a place to stay, food to eat, a sense of "home" while they charge their batteries and regroup for the next leg of their journey.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

I am a bit off the beaten trail, closest to Truro or Parrsboro. If my schedule allows, I can help you a bit with transportation and provide you a bed for your stay. You can make yourself at home and help yourself to all food in my cupboards, I have wifi, and a washing machine and dryer so you can clean your clothes. I also have a beautiful outside shower I adore that you can use.

Note that I have two dogs- Rosie and Bailey- they can be a bit hyper and foolish, Rosie can be a bit nervous as well but they adjust quickly to new company and have never been an issue. They lay on the couches and can be relentless in their mission for belly and ear rubs :) Also because of the dogs, my cat can often seek safety on the tables and counters. Thus there tends to be an endless amount of fur but I do my best to stay on top of it all and value a tidy home!- it can just be a bit "busy" and you want to be comfortable with pets if you crash here.

The spare room is very tidy, with the door staying shut to keep animals out.
