I am an empty nester and a school teacher so I get the best holidays for traveling. I love to travel. When traveling, I prefer to hang out with the locals and do what locals do. I'm not one for the fancy resorts or the all-inclusives. I like to go to bed early and get up early. I like to have a cold beer on a hot day. I love live music and other performing arts. Meeting new people and getting to know new countries are my favourite things about traveling.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I thought I would try Couchsurfing. I usually stay in hostels when traveling as it gives me more opportunities to meet people and experience local culture. I thought I would try something new this time and really get to know the locals!

Interests

Traveling of course. Small towns and local people. Visiting small pubs. Meeting new people and seeing new sights.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm a little embarrassed to say Country Music is my favourite, although I also love some old classic rock. Any music live is certainly worth listening to. My favourite movies change season to season, so I don't really know that I have a FAVOURITE. I must say I've be enjoying some Ryan Reynolds movies. Might be that I just enjoy our little Canadian superstar.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Put myself through university while raising 3 daughters. At the time it didn't seem that big of a deal, but looking back at it, it was pretty amazing!

Teach, Learn, Share

Everyday is a day of teaching, learning, and sharing, especially when traveling as a couch surfer. I am passionate about teach, learn, share, which is why I became a school teacher. I look forward to sharing my knowledge and learning from others on my journey.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm not really much of a cook, but I do have a couple of good recipes I can make. I do love to sit and have a cold beer or a nice glass of wine and trade "stories".
