About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To be the change I want to see in this world.

ABOUT ME

I work a lot of hours, but I'm always scheming my next set of travels. I love to take extended trips, and have had a few opportunities in my life to do this. Otherwise, I enjoy sneaking adventures into short spaces whenever I get a chance! My husband and partner-in-crime, Brad, joins me in scheming up adventures also. We are both very excited to get involved in CouchSurfing!

PHILOSOPHY

Any trip is too short to be wasted on sleep... I'll sleep when I get home.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We are relatively new to CouchSurfing, and just heard about this through friends who have participated in the past. We're looking forward to hosting, traveling and participating in the Chicago group when we come off the road!
