My husband, Tom, is a nurse and I am retired after a rewarding career working with children. I ended my career in Africa where I helped find permanency for deported and displaced children. We love to travel and the outdoors. We have never met a stranger, just a friend we had yet to meet.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Love traveling and no better way to know a country than to "live" with a native!
