About Me

I'm an American expat living in France with my 2 Franco-American kids. I like the simple life!
I've got a bad case of wanderlust, and travel when I can.
I'm drawn to people, their stories, their energy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've been doing CS since 2006 when I came to France as an assistant and a friend reccomended it to me for a trip to Scotland. Had such an amazing adventure, travelling like never before, and have stuck with it. Hosting is like travelling when you can't leave home. Even brought our son on an adventure and hope to do more as a family.

Interests

I love walking, swimming, embroidery, cross-stitch, drinking, eating, TRAVELLING, reading, Netflixing, trying new things.
Country dancing, exchanging postcards (Postcrossing), all sorts of dorky endeavors.
Challenge me to a game of Just Dance any day...
TEA... cooking, baking.
I love pregnancy and childbirth, and I'm used to being around kids and teens of all ages.
