CURRENT MISSION

To meet new people, open myself to new experiences, and learn about different cultures. We will one day plan a world trip to visit all of our surfers we hosted.

ABOUT ME

I consider myself to be funny and entertaining. I am in constant adventure mode. I love exploring the world around me and taking in all it has to offer. The opportunity to travel with my children as they get older is very appealing to me.

PHILOSOPHY

My daily goal is to enjoy all that my world has to offer. I love sharing experiences with my children, and I crave the enthusiasm that they have upon discovering anything new. I want to see my world through those eyes.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would love to share what our great city has to offer in the way of local attractions, theme parks, and dining. Or stay home and make a great meal which will be enjoyed over fun conversation.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

In September, 2011 I had my first surfing experiance in Nuremberg, my experiences there helped me become an active host for travelers as well as meeting the locals. In the past though not through CS I have also stayed with a family in France when I was younger. It was an amazing experience to have lived the day as they did. I truly enjoyed seeing them rediscover things that could become mundane to someone who lives there. Visitor and host both benefited from the experience.
