CURRENT MISSION

Start traveling internationally again — now with my son. *Update: we went to Turks and Caicos in 2019! After becoming a mama, traveling got put on hold for awhile. Now my goal is to make it happen, and continue to meet amazing people all over the world! I miss the couchsurfing family tons!

ABOUT ME
I’m a single mama, love all walks of life, love animals, love Jesus! I would love to meet new people from all over to the world. We moved from California (born and raised) to Georgia a few years ago, and still have many new places to explore!

We (my now 8 year old son and I) love to go eat at new places, go on hikes and adventures, road trips, watch travel and food shows, cook healthy food, meeting new people, taking pictures, going to festivals and events, etc.

Traveling is one of my passions. live for ethnic foods, culture, music, and deep connections with honest people. I love Nutrition and exercising - just being active and outdoors! I love learning and seeing new things, meeting new people; creating new experiences. Humor, sarcasm, and laughter is a huge part of my life - couldn't live without that!

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I heard about couchsurfing many years ago from my brother and close friends in 2007. It changed my life. I love meeting amazing people from all over The globe. Hosting and surfing are both life changing experiences to be had. :) I took a 6 year hiatus due to becoming a mama and having life and priorities change a lot lol. But I am finally attempting to get back to travel! Can’t wait to meet some new, amazing people from all over!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

They have all been amazing! I have made friends all over the world, while in their country, or in mine. This site brings a whole new meaning to it being a small world; connecting everyone in ways I thought were not possible.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

While in Domican Republic, i saw these little boys, who looked very poor, so i went and got some of my shoes, shirts and slippers that i didnt really need, and asked if they wanted them. I couldn't believe the look on thier faces...that was true happiness...giving to give, not to receive anything in return.

教，学，和分享

I love to talk about Nutrition, especially holistic nutrition (not western medicine...more so, treating the body as a whole, inside and out. Preventitive medicine, healthy whole foods, herbs, healing, etc.)

I would love to learn fluent spanish. I’m semi conversational. I love learning about different cultures, and always new recipes and foods! New music is a must! I thrive off new information...so id love to learn it all! ;0p I wish I could meet every person in this world!

我游览过的国家

我居住过的国家
