About Me

I actually live in the little town of Bison, 30 minutes south of Hays.

My partner's profile: https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/amanda-wagner-3

I bought a house in small town Kansas! The town is like stepping back in time... between the fields... dirt roads. The house is over 100 years old.

We have a spare bed we can set up that you can sleep on. We can put it in our entertainment room to give you some privacy. There is also a couch in there (however, the couch is pretty small). It isn't the most private as the doors are French doors.

After living in Arizona for a few years, I felt that I needed a change. So, I sold my house in Arizona and bought a house in cash here in Kansas with the money I made from selling my house in AZ. I am half an hour away from a regional airport that you can fly into.

I'm fully vaccinated (COVID) as of April, 2021.

The World Is Not Your Oyster: https://www.npr.org/2023/11/29/1197954351/the-world-is-not-your-oyster (a podcast … would love to chat with fellow CSers about this perspective)

I am pursuing a PhD in Trauma-Informed Education. More than happy to chat about it.
