My husband Glenn and I lived for more than 30 years in Anchorage, Alaska but we currently live in Cuenca, Ecuador (2 years). I was a kindergarten teacher for many years and Glenn was vice president of a small company. We moved to Cuenca so that we could pursue other interests and travel while we were still relatively young. We love to travel and try to travel as much as our retirement income will allow. We enjoy meeting people from all over the world here and when we travel.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We love meeting people and hearing about their experiences. Couchsurfing is a way we can do that as well as help our travel dollar go further and help others stretch their travel budget, too.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

I can show visitors to Cuenca interesting places to go, how to use the city and inter-city buses, identify and purchase unusual fruits at the markets.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm more than happy to talk about travel and anything else with hosts. If you want me to prepare a meal, I am open to that as well.
