I enjoy simple things...hiking, sightseeing, photography, sky gazing, playing with puppies, and one on one conversation with others about anything. I want to see new places, climb trees, ride a camel, and (insert your ideas here). I look forward to meeting fellow surfers. In the meantime, I'm venturing to any place that I can visit in a weekend
I am a dog mom and they come with me just about everywhere at home, only occasionally when I travel. They’re small, go by Hypee and Johnny, and are very sweet and friendly.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've set a goal for myself...visit all 50 states before my 35th birthday. Covid slowed me down for a while, but I’m at it again, adding 5 years to reach my goal. To achieve that I'm going to need all the help I can get :) I'm mostly traveling alone, so besides company I'd like to benefit from the knowledge of a local. Plus the added bonus of a friend.
I've also recently connected with other couchsurfers in my community. Let me just say, they are some of the most welcoming, generous people I know. I'm proud to call them friends.

Interests

If you have a dog or a motorbike, you are my new best friend. I love reading, dining out, exploring cities and visiting gorgeous landscapes. I'm also very chatty when it comes to topics of philosophy, mythology, and art.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My first visit to Texas (first solo trip too) was 5 days. In that time I visited Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, Austin, and hill county due west of Austin. Just got my plane ticket and car rental then took off, spending a full day in each city or town and Couchsurfing the whole way. Had a blast...been hooked ever since

Teach, Learn, Share

One of my goals is to try something new every month, whether it's a new style of cooking, new language, new skill...
