I have always loved to travel and meet people since I rode my bike across Europe in 1982. Love the outdoors, hiking, camping, rural life and horseback riding. My husband Tim and I would be interested in meeting fellow travelers.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Love to travel on the cheap, you meet the best people that way. I've never really gotten to know a fellow traveler at a Best Western!

Interests

Reading, the arts, hiking, camping, learning how to fish, currently. Love to learn, especially about the natural world. Did you know red-backed voles are the dominant small rodent species near McCarthy, Alaska?

Music, Movies, and Books

Barbara Kingsolver, Nevada Barr, Gretel Erlich are some favorite authors. I'm not as up to date on movies, but I like documentaries and foreign films, and a good comedy. "Lars and the Real Girl" was a fun flick.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have been blessed with many amazing experiences. I helped to found two non-profits, and I placed fifth in my first equestrian endurance competition with a horse that was 26 years old at the time.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have helped others with editing and writing for various projects.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I make bread, and I love cooking sharing meals with those who enjoy good food.
