CURRENT MISSION:
Travel well, and help others travel well.

ABOUT ME:
Greetings! I work in clinical cardiac care, babysit on the side and volunteer here and there for environmental issues. My hobbies now natural health care, exercising, camping, meditation, minimal gardening (hoping to expand that next year), DIY projects around the house, and staying in touch with friends and family near and far.

My Favorite Adventures:
-Backpacking trips in the Colorado Rockies, Yellowstone and Teton National Parks, Redwood National Forest, and the Routeburn Track, New Zealand
- A crazy stint in Amsterdam and Paris
- A cozy stay in Taos, New Mexico
- Exploring all of Ireland and finding my past lives in her (twice)
- Taking my mom on a European vacation to England, Switzerland and Italy

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I heard about CS several years ago but never utilized it until just recently. I've spread the CS knowledge to my friends and family. We've been the surfers as well as hosted the surfers. It's a great program thus far!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Surfed in Omaha, Nebraska; New Zealand.
Hosted in Louisville, CO (great experience!)
