About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Teach my daughter about the great outdoors and traveling!

ABOUT ME

I am in my late twenties and have a 5-year old daughter. My husband is away doing military service right now, and I'm doing my best to stay occupied with parenting, work, and lots of time outdoors. In the summer, that means camping, hiking, canoeing, etc. In the winter, that means winter hiking and skiing. I also run--all weather, all terrain, all the time (and often with a jogging stroller, unless my neighbors feel like entertaining my lovely daughter!).

PHILOSOPHY

Work hard, play hard and eat well!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love to travel, and look forward to couch surfing. I can occasionally host.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have stayed on many a couch, from Barcelona, Spain, to Worcester, MA, to Portland, OR. People's generosity with their couches have allowed me to range further afield and see more interesting sites than I would otherwise.
