I have been hosting international students for over 25 years and hosting CS for 13 years. We are a fun family that love to eat good food and drink a good bottle of wine with great conversation. If you are only looking for a place to crash without a minimum courtesy to the CS community , do not contact me. ABOUT ME I am a 62 year old Latina. I live with my youngest daughter and lodgers from furnish finders. I love to enjoy my life, every minute counts and is important. I do have fun with simple things like having coffee in my garden, dinner with my friends at home, but I love traveling and going out too. We have a dog and a cat, they are adorable.

There is not room for RACISM, HOMOPHOBIA or any kind of discrimination or judgement against others in my house.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCH SURFING I will be happy to offer my couch or a private bedroom if I do not have lodgers at the time. Happy to share delicious food, great coffee, wine and conversations. COUCH SURFING EXPERIENCE Yes!!! , not much since I usually host more than being a guest but the few times I have couch surf it has been awesome.
