Active volunteer for Fifa and US Soccer. Major Barca fan...LOVE THEM! Love dance, music, and theater. Enjoy working out daily and teaching ZUMBA at 24 hr Fitness. Learning French. Planning our next trip to Europe. Loving my new dance zumba family and old soccer friends. Yay!

PHILOSOPHY

I live my life by always finding ways to make a difference, not only in my family's lives, but others around the world. I look for opportunities to share my life lessons with young people so they can become informed decision makers. I host students/people from around the globe to allow for enlightened discussions and learning about each others' hopes and dreams. It is my wish that my children will continue the friendships they have made through our family's hosting experiences and maybe, implement the exchange concept generously in the future.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I will encourage as many of my traveling friends, new and old, to join. I will post a link of CS on our Soccer Moms USA website. I will also mention on my facebook page Team ZUMBA USA which I am the founder. I will mention CS on Twitter and Facebook.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

No longer a newbie. Had my first hosting experience with a young man from Germany and it was very positive. We had great interaction between him and my family. Looking forward to hosting more positive people in the future.
