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.
