I am the mother of three grown children. I have worked for 30 years in various areas of the nursing field and have loved my job. I had to retire early due to health reasons and am now enjoying my hobbies as well as my grown children's visits. I like to travel and have always felt that the people I have encountered on my journeys have enriched my life. I am looking forward to meeting many of you on your journeys.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think it is great to have a community of people who open their homes to one another like family.
I am also "empty nesting" and would enjoy hosting.
