CURRENT MISSION

To learn by traveling and experiencing new cultures and people and share my culture and couch with others.

ABOUT ME

We live on a small hobby farm with cows, horses, pot belly pigs, chickens, guineas, peacock, 2 dogs, 2 cats & introducing my sons 3 cats to our menagerie. So if you stay with us you need to like animals. We love to travel and read. We like to hike and be outdoors. We make life an adventure and FUN!!!Cooking (and eating) is a passion, that is why I work for Weight Watchers...lol. We have 2 children and 2 wonderful little granddaughters, whom we adore! Currently, our son, daughter-in-love, and one of our granddaughters lives with us, and the other granddaughter is frequently here on weekends & when school is out.

PHILOSOPHY

Live life to the fullest! Enjoy and experience all that you can while you can. Help others if you are able and be humble.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We would like to couch surf occasionally, but also offer a place for others to stay. We offer a warm, welcoming and relaxing environment. It is truly a place to get away, rejuvenate and center yourself. Also, a cup of coffee, hot tea or "sweet" tea, good food, and lots of conversation if you want it or quiet solitude if you don't.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I have couch surfed in Austria and in Germany. But so far, we have hosted many wonderful fellow travelers in our home in Alabama.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a "Jack of all trades". I know a little bit about a lot of things and a lot about nothing. I love to learn about new things and places, I can share "stories" and any work around the house including cooking.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Friendship, comradeship and laughter. I am a good listener...most of the time and I love to share experiences with others. I also am a very good cook!
