I am an elementary school teacher who loves to travel, hike, kayak, cook and learn about and be immersed in new cultures. I caught the 'travel bug' in my third year of university when I studied for a year in Paris, France.
Now I hope to embark on some adventures with my husband and with 3 incredible sons, ages 12, 16 and 18.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We have been planning for 5 years on taking a large trip, travelling as many places as possible and that time is soon here. We will all have a semester off of school to explore new cultures, try new food, meet new friends and have a 'real world' education!

We are interested in meeting people from all walks of life!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Survived and thrived living in Paris, France on my own for one year!
I've been blessed with 3 amazing kids!

Teach, Learn, Share

I am passionate about gardening, herbs, herbal teas and essential oils and would love to share my knowledge and learn more. I could also help you with your English, learn how to knit, and we are a games family, so we could teach you a plethora of card and board games !

What I Can Share with Hosts

All that is mentioned in the 'Teach. learn,share' plus a love for learning new things, excellent conversations, a good heart and I am an excellent listener. I am also a very good cook and like to experiment and learn new recipes from foods all over the world!
