CURRENT MISSION

I'm on a journey through the rest of this year, traveling across the country, doing family history research.

ABOUT ME

Retired RN. Single. Mother of 3, Grandmother of 5, Great-Grandmother of 10-newest member born March 2016.

I do not smoke, use drugs, and have a couple of glasses of wine per year.

I enjoy traveling both in the US & other countries, computers, reading, genealogy, meeting new people.

I've lived in Cuba, Vietnam, Japan, Panama, GA, AL, FL, CA, WA, ID, VA, KS, IN, IA, PA, NJ.

I've traveled to Mexico, Canada, Korea, Thailand, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Turkey, Germany, Egypt, Somalia.

PHILOSOPHY

I've had many wonderful experiences in my life. I spent many years in the US Army/US Army Reserve, traveled a lot, lived in many different places.
This certainly broadened my horizons, by living in different countries and learning about different cultures.
I'm non-judgmental, but do not want to host people who use drugs, smoke, (I'm allergic to cigarette/cigar/pipe smoke), or use alcohol heavily.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am new to this group, but it was highly recommended by Brandon, the wonderful Massage Therapist I go to.

When I return from this year's travels, I'll be happy to host visitors to Boise.
