CURRENT MISSION

to live freely, to see as much of the world as I can before I die, to meet wonderful new people

ABOUT ME

I am a mom, student, full time worker bee and burlesque dancer. Yep, pretty busy lady. So I like to reward myself by traveling alone at least once a year to a foreign country.

PHILOSOPHY

Freedom is what you do with what's been done to you. -Jean Paul Sartre

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Travel inspires and reinvigorates me! I am also interested in meeting interesting, beautiful people from around the world through hosting- although I can only host on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights when I don't have my kids.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am new to couch surfing and am looking for a place to stay in Brussels from 12/27/12-12/28/12, and Paris from 12/29/12-31/12, then Brussels again on 1/1/13.
