I am a long distance hiker and backpacker, having hiked over 18,000 miles! You can google, "Gail Lowe- hiker", to learn more about me and my hikes. I live in Michigan, but detest Michigan winters....so gray and cold! I look forward to traveling south during the winters. After working as a critical care nurse for 30 years, I now teach English to Chinese students online. And I hope to have wifi access and a quiet space along the way, so that I can continue to earn a living as I travel.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To escape Michigan winters! And, to see the many wonders of our country and to meet amazing people along the way.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

First woman to hike the entire 4,600 mile North Country Trail in one hiking season- 2014. In memory of my Daughter, who died of breast cancer in 2013. The hike was called, "Becka's Hike" and can be found on Google as well.
