I do not know where to start! I am a sojourner, I am a mom of 3 grown adult woman, I was an exchange student to South Africa in 1975, the end of apartheid. I have played it forward by being a host mom to 12 teenage exchange students within 6 years. The world is a smaller place when you open up your home to complete strangers. On my FB page on any given day, there are multiple posts from all over the world:) More power to you if you can invite 12 16 year olds into your home for a year...it was challenging, but at the same time, delightful!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Simply, to meet new people.

Interests

Well, I love the water, being in it or on it makes me happy. Glad to be in Nashville where it is green all year round! I love fishing, wading in a river, lying in a river or lake...there are some beautiful places around here! I forgot to mention that I swam competitively for 16 years....and I played rugby, and did track and....pretty much anything athletic, now, not so much!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I had 3 daughters naturally, was home by noon cooking dinner. But it was not so much having them as it was raising them to be givers! I am proud.
