We are a family of 2 now myself and my husband, empty nesters. I love to travel and want to visit as much of this world as possible before I die. I strive to live life to the fullest, try new adventures and I am grateful for all that I have. I am open minded, fun and friendly. I love learning about other cultures and hearing people's life stories. I grew up in Albuquerque, I am a Realtor and I love our beautiful city. The sunsets and Sandia mountains still take my breath away.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to travel and I encourage everyone to do so, I think we all need new outlooks on life. I want to connect and build friendships around the world while I share my beautiful city. I hope that I can help make someone's travel goal come true by hosting them, as hotels are expensive.

I look forward to seeing your city from your eyes, learning your culture and forming a friendship.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing thing I have done is raise my daughters. They have taught me what unconditional love is, made me a better person and remind me to appreciate the little things in life.

So many amazing experiences like hiking to the top of Machu Picchu in Peru, hang gliding off Sandia Mountains in Albuquerque, riding camels in UAE, playing with elephants in Thailand and walking through ice caves in Iceland!
