I am a person who loves to travel and meet people. One of the things I love most about travelling is the interesting and ever changing people you get to meet and learn about. Group tours don’t give me the kind of connection to culture and way of life that I want to learn about. I started out in the hospitality industry with my first jobs and have had the travel bug ever since. Our family has been hosting international students and student friends of my sons for several years so I thought this would be a great way to keep my house full of activity and friendly faces as my sons move on to their own lives. Everyone still comes and goes at the moment - they are young adults. We have a large home with a spare rooms and lots of sofa space to welcome new, friendly faces from around the world to Nova Scotia. We can share a wide range of activities, from hiking, yoga, cycling, board games to sightseeing around the province. I have a bucket list of my own and I am sure each one of you do as well. I would love to share some of the great adventures that can be had here in NS and the Maritime provinces of Canada. I have travelled and lived in many places across Canada , the US and Europe and we have always felt that travel was an important part of education for our family.
We had dogs but we are a now our son’s cat sitter for the time being. I do dog sit occasionally as well.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I want to share what I love about Nova Scotia and I hope to learn about other people’s homes and cultures.

兴趣

I am a mum of 3 grown sons and a part time artist and bookkeeper. I also do volunteer work locally with art and students and with the Weimaraner Association of Canada Rescue. Our family also play a lot of board games like Catan, 7 Wonders and Kingdom Builder. My husband is a native Nova Scotian with a strong history and medical background so conversations around the house often involve history & health. I have travelled (and lived in 7) many places so I have some knowledge to share and I love to learn about all of the places I haven’t been to yet.

音乐、电影和书籍

I enjoy all types of music, theatre, art, all kinds of movies except horror...my sons enjoy those. I have been watching foreign tv programs on Netflix now with subtitles. Fun change.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I have lived all across Canada and in Germany, when the wall came down 1989/90, and I walked the Portuguese Camino in 2019. We have hiked among the giant Sequoia trees (4000 year old trees) and the Red Wood forests in California. That was amazing for all of us! I have driven across Canada several times, and once up to Tuktoyaktuk on the Arctic Ocean. That was pretty special too. I have spent significant time exploring the Yukon, BC, AB, MB, ON, PQ and Atlantic Canada. I drove through SK and a bit of NWT but haven’t had the opportunity to check out Labrador and Nunavut yet.

教，学，和分享

I can teach you about life in NS and Canada. Share some special hiking and biking trails and routes. There are loads of wineries and microbreweries, food and cultural festivals all over Nova Scotia and great yoga classes in a barn nearby. From beaches to ski hills, zip lining and mountain biking, Nova Scotia has an abundance of adventures to choose from. The geography and landscapes are beautiful.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

I can take you on a tour, if time permits or I can give you travel tips to any of the places I have travelled and provide you with a comfortable, clean space for your visit and loads of books to read if you want a rest day on your journey.
