I am 39 and lived a lot of life in those years. I had children young, then went to college, then started a career! I seem to never do things in "order" ! I fell into my job 13 years ago , by accident- and it is the best thing that has ever happened to me! I have friends all over the world! I love doing community service projects, and doing my part to make my little piece of the earth a better place. I am a member of Rotary International. My family has hosted 37 different exchange students- for various amounts of time. My kids are older now- and only 2 are living at home.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I travel often, and almost always stay with friends. My friend suggested this site to me, and it is totally me! First thing I thought of, "I can meet so many new friends with this" What an opportunity to meet like-minded people from everywhere!

Interests

People watching, collecting old books, pets, travel, my kids, concerts, cooking, throwing parties, exploring, daydreaming & community service projects. GOOD COFFEE!

Music, Movies, and Books

Music, well I love everything! From Dave Matthews - to Usher- to 70's groove- to Jazz on Sunday mornings!
Last book I read was "orange is the new black" I really like Wally Lamb- I think i have read all his books. I love magazines, and reading the news!
Not too much of a movie watcher- it is hard for me to sit still for 2 hours. I do like to record TV shows- and watch them without commercials!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

That is hard to pin-point. I would like to think that I never allowed my past to dictate my future. No matter what obstacles i have come to- I have always found a way to move forward.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am super low maintenance, and am happy with hanging around the neighborhood I am in. I am not scheduled. I love to learn about peoples every day lives and their families!
