My husband and I are recent empty nesters. Sometimes we travel together and sometimes separately. We both love to sail, paddle, camp and experience different cultures, communities and countries. We like learning from locals rather than being tourists.
I also enjoy painting, sketching, adventure, dancing, singing (albeit a bit off key), reading and cooking. My latest project is making kombucha.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
