please note: I do not live in Jacksonville FL!!! This means I am not in Jacksonville, it is my “hometown” but I have been baseless living all over Europe for the last 10 years. Please note I do not host in Florida.

I am doing the digital nomad life so sometimes I can host, sometimes I can just meet up. Happy to help when I can! Currently, (May - Aug 2024) I will be wandering the Southern France, Northern Spain then Scotland and England …see you here, there and everywhere! After July…not sure…open to suggestions
Please do not email me if you are hoping to get laid I use this site for travel and cultural exchange. If you don’t read this and email me, I shall not be held accountable for the sarcasm that will ensue. 😈

CURRENT MISSION

1. Make the world a little better each day. 2. Experience, enjoy, and learn by following my curiosity.

ABOUT ME

I value experience over book knowledge, kindness over outward success and spellcheck (I really love spellcheck). Trying new things is part of living, when I am able I will travel the world. My life has been one plot change after another, by choice. Eclectic and quirky may be a way of describing myself. I certainly don't take myself seriously so geeky, white girl, will work too as a description.

PHILOSOPHY

Be nice, respect all living things, and never take yourself or situations too seriously.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can maybe host people, sometimes there is spare room in the place I am renting, my housesit or hotel. I also love to utilize a couch when I am visiting new places. Currently, I am a digital nomad... so I am not sure when I can host.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I use the site mostly for hangouts but also surf and host. It is fabulous to meet people while traveling with or without the site. People make a place special, not the buildings I see.

Interests

I enjoy playing outdoors (hiking, biking, swimming, camping, etc), making things, doing art, seeing live music, travel, gardening, writing, yoga, meditation, planning random adventures....

• photography
• yoga
• meditation
• hiking
• medicine
• art
• herbalism

Music, Movies, and Books

I can be a film snob at times, but love a silly flick too. Music--Love it all minus really bad pop. I mostly listen to lesser known indie bands. As for books, I slowly read informative books (mostly health related or mind body books) then devour things like Christopher Moore books that are pure fun. I do love a good audio book when road tripping.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Working in the free clinics in Mexico...most interesting cases, amazingly loving people and most rewarding thing I do.

Teach, Learn, Share

Always in the mood for listening to good travel stories. Sharing ideas, and teaching what ever I can that you would like to know.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am quite handy with a first aid kit, can whip up great snacks or a meal, help around the house and basic car repair if you own a VW. I travel with my acupuncture needles at all times :) Happy to do acupuncture, take you out for a drink or meal--Not here to free load...just love seeing life in a non-tourist way, meeting interesting people, and listening to stories.
