About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Make this world a better place one human at a time, starting with me.

ABOUT ME

That was my opening description in 2010.
I've always dreamed about going around the world and now that my kids are all grownups, I want to start my journey. I think that CouchSurfing is a great way to meet other travelers who want to share their experiences with me. This will help me plan my future trips.
I am curious, energetic and open minded person, and I like to meet people with the same vibrations.

UPDATE 2025
Now, after 15 years on this site, my life has taken turns like I would never image! Some good, some bad, some worst, but I keep going forward and am grateful for every little bits of joy this life brings me. I am now a grandma! Wow!! Best thing in my life! Four kids who teach me. Boy, do I learn fast, lol. They keep me up to date and keep going in all directions, all the time. I am so lucky that they still want to spend time with me. So if I get to host you in the summertime, you might get to meet them and live a different experience. They are a lot of fun!

The Couchsurfing experience has brought me so much happiness through hosting, mostly. I met so many great souls and made lifelong connections.
Also, I am retired, so, I have all my time to share.

PHILOSOPHY
Love and respect of others.
Find beauty in everyone and everywhere. Find positivity in all negatives. Get moving and keep going forward.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I was encouraged by my young niece who was a CS herself. I was looking for open minded people who shared the same interests. I found it.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've been hosting since for the past 10 years and I enjoy it very much. It gives me a chance to meet very special people who all have one thing in common, make this world a better place. It's an eye opening experience for me.
