About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To travel to as many places in the world as I can in the time I have left in my life, and to meet extraordinary friends along the way.

ABOUT ME

I'm single, have 3 grown children (not living with me) and my own business. I have been traveling in the last eight years and am planning on several trips to various parts of the world in the future.

PHILOSOPHY

You have a choice in everything you think and do.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm easy going, enjoy meeting people from all over the world.

I have had one couchsurfer stay with me, and it was a great experience. I am not able to host right now, but hopefully in the future I can continue to do that.

Interests

I enjoy horseback riding in the mountains, computers, cycling, camping, most things outdoors, watching movies , eating well, music, wine, dancing.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love all kinds of music (except heavy metal and rap) and play a bit of guitar.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I started an outfitting business many years ago, and spent 30 years taking people from all over the world on horseback vacations in the Canadian Rockies. I think that is where I started to be curious about the rest of the world, and decided that traveling is what I needed to do for as long as I can possibly do it.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm willing to learn new ways of cooking cultural dishes. I have been an outfitter for the past 30 years, taking guests on horseback vacations in the Canadian Rockies, and would love to share my experience and stories with you. I now design websites for a living which allows me to work and travel at the same time.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am very willing to cook for you, I love to cook! And if you have any chores that you need help with, eg: taking care of or feeding horses, pets or livestock, I'm in! If you need some help with your website I would be happy to help!
