I was born in Germany, and grew up in Alabama. I have lived in New York, Georgia, Florida, and for the last 10 years in Utah. I have been blessed to be able to travel to Mexico, Canada, Bermuda, Ireland, Jamaica and the Dominican Republic.
I love the mountains and the natural beauty of Utah. I get free ski passes through work, and would love a skiing buddy any time I can squeeze it in.
I have been a nurse for 10 years helping teens who are struggling to discover their worth and create an amazing future.
I adopted a sibling group of 5 children in 2011, so I am also a busy mom.
I love yoga, running, outdoors, music, people and opportunities to serve and make a difference in the community. I love travel and discovering new things.

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

In addition to pursuing adventures in new places, adding the experience of meeting new people makes it that much more rich and valuable.
I have lots of room in my home, and would love the opportunity to host people here in Utah.
And, I love traveling, and can do it much more often if it's on the cheap. :)

I ride horses. I can whelp puppies. I finished my basement & built an awesome gas firepit.

I put my resume online if you want to know more about me:

I also have a site about our puppies that's just super adorable:

Like Movies & Music, especially when they are intelligent, meaningful, or authentically funny (not just stupid-funny).
