About Me

CURRENT MISSION
To show how I care for our precious planet and to make the most of each day regardless of circumstances

ABOUT ME
I am a single mom of 3 adult children who has a physical disability. I try to not let it stop me from traveling, but sometimes I just host.

My 30 yr old daughter and I traveled quite a bit together when she was younger so that she got hands-on learning in the real world instead of being filled with textbook info all the time (Homeschooled)... Shannon is now exploring the world on her own in the Navy after she attended University

PHILOSOPHY
Believe in yourself and anything is possible

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have requested couches and I host couch surfers - even cared for a tiny surfer in my childcare home for a good part of 2013

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I have hosted a few world travelers in the last 15 years (many were found in other places besides couch surfing site) and had a drink or two with quite a few others. Life gets interesting when you add another person's views, especially when one of them writes a book about his journeys.
