CURRENT MISSION

To meet people all over the world, and to travel.

ABOUT ME

I have wanted to travel all of my life, but am just now finding time to do it. Horray!! I raised 4 kids but they are no longer at home. I am ready to get about the rest of my life now. So much more to do...

PHILOSOPHY

I am a christian, but very accepting of other beliefs and cultures.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We love to have people come to our home from other countries. We have hosted people from Italy, China, Equidor, Turkey, Venesualla, Portugal, Germany and France and it has been a splendid experience. Our home is in a quiet county setting. It is not very close to many things but is a peaceful stop along the way of travels.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Have couchsurfed in Ireland, England, Belgium, Netherlands, France, Italy, Germany, Croatia, Slovenia, Czech Republic and Switzerland. Wonderful experiences! Have had CouchSurfers come to our house from Berlin, Germany, Belgium and from various places in the USA. We have upcoming couchsurfers coming from Madrid, Spain and from Ecuador. Terrific!

Music, Movies, and Books

Honestly, we would run out of room here. I am a book lover and a music lover. I often wish there was ongoing music to go with my life.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My son and I backpacked/couchsurfed across the UK/Europe for a month. My second son and I backpacked/couchsurfed across western Europe for a month, and now my daughter and I are making plans to backpack Europe this year. My husband and son are making plans to travel (destination yet unknown) as well. Our last two kiddos are leaving the nest this year.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am very good at organizational skills. I have truly enjoyed being a mother. I have survived losing my husband, and found love again with my second husband. I have raised 4 kids to know love and security. I know how to be happy.

There are blankets, pillows, towels, toiletries, etc. available for you to use.
