I am a mother of 2 teenagers, have an awesome boyfriend and I love life. My greatest relaxation is to sleep in my tent in the backcountry alone. I am a businesswoman who loves meeting people, learning new perspectives and growing on every level.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The immediate answer is I have always been curious and finally have an opportunity to try it! I have a writing retreat with Lissa Rankin, MD in Canggu, Bali in November and I want to stay with locals and be immersed in the whole experience. I have never travelled this far from home alone and I believe deeply in creatively connecting with folks around the world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I birthed my second daughter at home with her Dad at my side and our other daughter napping in the other room.

Teach, Learn, Share

My greatest passion is supporting each being I contact in bringing out their full potential. I know that every person on my path supports this for me and I believe we are all teachers and students in everything we do. I share my views, insights and skills everywhere I go as is appropriate and welcomed.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Gentleness. Kindness and compassion. I can cook, clean, help in any way necessary with a mutual clear agreement.

Countries I’ve Visited
