I am an active person who loves new experiences. Born in Maryland, raised in New Mexico and have lived most of my adult life in Florida. I am a project manager and work for local state government. I have worked in the IT industry for 20+ years. I am a non-smoker.

I love the outdoors (specifically the beach), music, painting and spending time with my family. I have one son, Christian. He is 24 years old.

I have lots of great friends and always looking for new opportunities to network and make new friends. I love learning about and experiencing other cultures and what better way to do than by making more new friends and learning from them. :)

I have not done international travel, but am planning my first trip to Europe this summer. I am very excited about taking this journey and soaking up as much as I can during my travels.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

A friend suggested that I try it out and of course to learn more about various cultures and people from around the world! Most importantly to make new friends!

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

One of the most amazing and life changing things I've done is to care for my father from his cancer diagnosis through his passing in 2014. Although this was a very difficult time for my family and I, we got the opportunity to become closer with one another as a family and personally care for my dad in his time of need. We had our ups and downs daily and experienced a range of emotions - but made some beautiful memories that I will cherish the rest of my life.

教，学，和分享

I love to learn about other cultures and want to hear about my guests experiences and travels.

I recently signed up to volunteer with a local literacy program teaching English to foreigners in our area. I will be trained in April and then can start working with other volunteers and students. I am very excited!

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

I love to visit with my guests and can show you around the area and local attractions. I will make you laugh, cook for you and offer friendship. An open book, with a warm heart, friendly smile and clean, comfortable place to stay.
