***COVID VACCINATED- HAVE CARD FOR PROOF***
I have 2 cats so anyone allergic beware

If you are a couple then I am happy to take in males. My preference says female only but to clarify- at least one of you should be a female😀

I am a fresh empty nester and am building my new life in a way that I can still be available to love on my adult kids and my sweet grandbabies.

I'm excited to host travelers and am happy to show you sights and off-the-beaten Jacksonville/St. Augustine fun.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I originally joined this site in 2010 when my son told me about it. He was 18 and just graduated high-school. Him and a friend were headed out to adventure using Couch Surfing.

I love making people feel at home- friends, family, and now to travelers. I plan on traveling, but my main motivation is to open my world. I love hearing about where people grew up, their lives and have amazing conversation.

Adventure. It's out there. I've raised kids for 30 years and have grown to dream of amazing things to accomplish. My kids have inspired that in me- I have a lot to give and live.
