I have always loved meeting new people and hearing their stories. I love seeing the wonders of the world upclose, enjoying culture through activity and experience. I love to build and create, learn new things, and help others to grow. I love to laugh. I love to spend time with my husband and kids, camp, hike, bike, spend time out in nature, and dance in the rain. I am an honest, fun-loving, giving woman. I love good food and am plant based/vegan.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I want to travel more and meet the locals, wherever I roam. I also want to have other cultures of the world come to my home for a visit. Love people!

Interests

Photography, reading (mostly non-fiction), spending quality time with family, gardening and permaculture, painting furniture and remodeling/updating my home, yoga & meditation, and converting a 40 foot school bus into an RV (which you can see, should you come to stay with us.....her name is Fenix and she's my baby). I am also an artist and an amateur musician.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Gave birth to some pretty amazing beings, six to be exact. (Does that count as one or six?)

Teach, Learn, Share

I am willing to teach anything I know. We educate our children at home, so I am used to being asked many questions on an hourly basis.

I would love to learn how to cook dishes from other countries.....through mentors from other countries. We love food at our house!

Willing to share our home and our culture with any who come to stay with us.

What I Can Share with Hosts

We have a blow up queen and full mattress, and plenty of floor space in our home (for bed rolls). We can offer a hot shower, an occasional meal, and any info you may need for your travels.

We appreciate and will respond best to those who plan ahead. And if you are just looking for a free place to crash, please don't bother asking. We want to meet other people from other places and share our part of the world with others who are genuinely interested. That can't happen when you aren't looking for more than a place to sleep for a night. ;)
