About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy life

ABOUT ME

I am happily married with four adult daughters. Health and intangible wealth is more important than money so I QUIT my all-consuming, stressful job to have time to do things that bring me joy! I now work for American Airlines and can fly all over the world for free :D

PHILOSOPHY

The golden rule

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Surfing or meet ups… my husband is reluctant to host at the moment. But, if you have hosted me in the past, we can make an exception.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first CS experience was when my oldest daughter and I surfed on her college road trip in 2010. It was so much fun, I wanted to go out and see the world this way. I hosted once, surfed in Jamaica and met up with CSers both in Charlotte and while abroad…..I’m ready for my next adventure! Can I hang out with you??

Music, Movies, and Books

Still searching for a favorite movie! I want to see more independent films before I decide.

Music from around the world via the internet.

Books...I read so many in school, I think I'm allergic! But, I do like reading about the things I enjoy.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Too modest to say.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you about any of my interests listed above. I want to learn what you do for fun, what makes you happy, what gives you a sense of fulfillment in life. Share? Yes, because sharing is caring :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

A helping hand if you need it.
An ear to listen if you have something to say.
Advice, but only if you ask me for it.
My home when you visit Charlotte, NC!
