I got the travel bug when I was 17 and paid for my own trip to India for 5 weeks. It was like walking into National Geographics with camels and elephants walking along the road as we left the airport. I have always loved to stay with people and learn more about how they live and "live like a local". I'm not so much into touristy things and would rather meander and discover hidden gems. I have moved 11 times. (7 times with my kids) It gave me the chance to really see how diverse the US is. I have traveled corporately, but have always enjoyed the layovers the most that we scheduled to meet up with old friends along the way. I have friends from 19-90 and am quickly comfortable meeting new people. I have always been drawn to cultural diversity. I was born in the Chicago area and have been back for the last 19 years so I have fallen in love with Chicago. I love small venue live music, theatre, coffee shops, festivals, art, cooking.

我为什么使用Couchsurfing
There is no better way to learn about cultures than through the eyes and lives of locals. Growing up we always had people living with us. I have had countless visitors from all over the world. I have 4 grown children who have lived overseas: Germany, India and Australia. I have sold my house and am a bit sad that I don't have an opportunity to host at the moment but I'm excited to start surfing again!!
