CURRENT MISSION

To LIVE BIG - LAUGH HARD - GIVE BACK - DIE HAPPY

ABOUT ME

People usually view me as a big kid because I still want to see/do everything! I love traveling, cultural exchanges, and meeting new people who are open to the world around them.

Growing up, I traveled with my large family and Air Force father. It gave me a good dose of the wanderlust. I always look forward to meeting new people and having new adventures... yippeeeeee!!

PHILOSOPHY

Be open. More Cowbell!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've hosted surfers, and I have also hosted several STL Couch Surfing get-togethers.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

When I lived in California, I had a revolving couch for friends and their relatives who were coming to the states from Ireland, England, Scotland & Wales. It was fun and through it, I made life long friends.

Interests

I am active in the community and with my family, I cook competitively (have competed in a few cooking competitions for fun), draw, paint, & sing. I love a day in the park, talking over a meal and a good bottle of wine, going out with my awesome friends,and taking spontaneous drives to nowhere in particular.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Some of the amazing things I've experienced around the world include swimming with the dolphins in Mexico, witnessing a whale migration from Alaska, swimming in a fresh spring under a magnificent waterfall in Hawaii, snowmobiling past buffalo and other wildlife in Yellowstone National Park. Oh, and people watching can get pretty interesting too... ;-)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Be thorough and honest about what you are and aren't providing. Be thorough about laying out your expectations. Spontaneity is great, but negative surprises are never fun for either side.
