I live in a small rural home with my happy dog. One of my favorite things is to learn about other cultures and how they are different from my own. I enjoy hearing people's stories of their lives... Their home, family, travels, activities, etc. I'm pretty quiet and somewhat introverted , and definitely not a partier. My philosophy is definitely... "My home is your home". Make yourself comfortable, share in whatever I'm having for supper, hang out inside or on the patio... Whatever works for you, is pretty much fine with me. You probably should like dogs though, because mine will want LOTS of attention from his new best friend (that would be you!).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I enjoy meeting new people and hearing their stories and experiences. I live in a gorgeous area, and hope to share it with others. Also, I hope to do more travelling in the future, and look forward to connecting with other surfers worldwide!
