CURRENT MISSION

Grab life.

ABOUT ME

I love preparing and sharing meals with people. I am adaptable, relaxed, easy going and can have fun doing just about anything. I am lucky that I have a house in a nice town near the ocean, and I would be happy to share it with couchsurfers.
I have 4 kids, ages 23 - 29.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is a journey :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

So far only hosting, which has been great, but hope to surf!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

After graduating from college, I backpacked and hitch-hiked around Europe for around 8 months with a friend. We met lots of great people who gave us rides and offered us a place to stay. Since then I have hosted Japanese, Slovak, Russian and Korean students in my home. I love how we can all connect, even though we don't speak the same language or come from similar backgrounds.
