CURRENT MISSION

To experience the world and different cultures through travel and hosting others.

ABOUT ME

I love hiking, biking, spending time in the mountains, small towns, getting lost in a good book, singing, musical theatre, playing guitar, kids and traveling. In 2016, I moved to Edmonton from Hinton (near Jasper) so I'm getting to know the city and am loving everything this great place has to offer!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Since joining in 2008, I've hosted many times and have thoroughly enjoyed myself. During my nine month sabbatical from teaching in 2010-2011, I couchsurfed in Europe and met some great new friends!
