About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Live, Love, Laugh. Every day is an adventure.

ABOUT ME

Nursing has provided me an opportunity to travel; Alaska, Saudi Arabia. I've enjoyed camping and backpacking with my four kids (adults now) throughout California...from the redwood forests, to the resplendent deserts and bustling cities. I'm always up for an adventure (maybe a fault of mine)!

PHILOSOPHY

Striving to maintain a peace within, without being self-absorbed. Be thankful for the here and now. The more I live life, the more I want to be a better person.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Available for WEEKENDS ONLY. Host, local tour, drinks. Sorry, CLOSED FOR CS (for now). I got really sick, COVID and bad virus with the past 50% of my surfers. Please be cautious out there.
