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.
