CURRENT MISSION

To explore the world.

ABOUT ME

My daughter, her dog, and I traveled across the United States the fall of 2009. It was an amazing experience to travel together, see new lands and climates, meet new people, have new experiences, and take thousands of photos between the two of us!

In the winter of 2012, I went to a teacher's conference at the Iditarod, fulfilling my dream to go to Alaska.

In 2014, I drove to all of the places Laura Ingalls Wilder lived in or wrote about in the "Little House" books.

In March of 2015, I travelled to Egypt and shared art with children in an orphanage. I loved Egypt!

PHILOSOPHY

Not all who wander are lost.-Tolkien

Expect the unexpected. Be grateful every day for who you are. Grow from your experiences, both joyful and painful. Be silly, play, laugh. There is so much to learn, to know, to experience...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to meet new people and learn about different cultures!

I have been an educator for thirty years, mainly working with children and people with disabilities. I enjoy nature and a holistic lifestyle, and engaging in philosophical and intellectual conversation
