CURRENT MISSION

My mission in life is to see as much of this world as possible and enjoy heaven on earth. I work so that I can go on vacation and sightsee.

ABOUT ME

I have a lot of energy but it serves me well. Traveling is my passion and I almost never visit the same place twice (unless of course I'm visiting family). I love to sight-see and have taken a liking to the outdoors. I'm not quite a tree hugger but I love spending time in parks and on trails with my husband and 2 kids. I have 2 small dogs (Leo and Stickers) that are wonderful but like to run off and explore.

PHILOSOPHY

Work hard and play harder

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I went from oh one day to participating in local CSer get togethers to finally surfing and can't wait to do it again.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I surfed my 1st couch in August 2012 and had a blast. Can't wait to do it again.

Interests

Hiking, biking, and seeing the sights with my family. I also love shopping for bargains on the internet and not all that keen on malls and department stores. Lately, I've been taking my kids to local ice-cream and coffee shops that are not a part of a franchise chain. They get a kick out of trying new foods at the farmer's market in Blacksburg.

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to become fluent in Spanish so anyone who can help me on that journey is a friend of mine. As for sharing, I love to cook and make mixed drinks from my ipod app.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I absolutely love to cook. I am always up for sharing a homemade meal with my (new, old, and future) friends.
