About Me

I work hard, play hard, and laugh often! I am all about keeping a positive attitude, no matter what life throws at you, there is always something positive that you can take from it. I am always up for an excursion, or to try new things. I am a student of life, and enjoy learning new things everyday.

I am a very caring, fun, and gentle person. My family and friends are very important to me. There is nothing that I wouldn't do for them. We stay close, and get together when ever we can. Hanging out, making dinner, hiking with my dog, or a game of disc-golf. Whatever gets friends and family together.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm very social. I love to meet new people, learn about different culture, and share experiences. If I can't travel the world, why not welcome the world to my home. I love to host and share my Home ( the State of Idaho) with others. I know so many beautiful places, peaceful retreats, and exciting adventures in Idaho, and I would enjoy sharing them with you

Interests

I absolutely love traveling! Give me a plane, train, boat, motorcycle, a car, and a destination and adventure, and I am there. I really enjoy learning about other people and places, cultures, and immersing myself in it. It is so great meeting new people, and what better way to connect than with the universal language of food. Oh, How I love to cook. I do love a good BBQ, add some friends and family, in any kind of weather I'm in ;-)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I rescued a family of three from drowning, and or being washed to sea, or run over by a ferry. It is not the only time I've been called on as a Rescue Diver/ Dive Master to keep a bad situation from becoming a catastrophic tragedy, but it was certainly a memorable dive.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have a friendly personality, and am very outgoing. I'm open to learning all about other people places, traditions, and cultures. I love to share a laugh, and I am known for my sense of humor, and great home brew and BBQ .

Countries I’ve Visited
