I'm a lover of life! I'm super outgoing and love meeting new people. I am adventurous and there's not many activities, adventures or foods I wouldn't try. For the firat time in my life, I do not have to work full-time and I am making the most of it!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm a Race Director and host 2-3 events per year which provides me a lot of free-time. In contrast, My husband works in SF and has a 15 hour workday due to his 5+ hour commute. I typically adventure away from home 2-3 times a week and would love the opportunity to meet fascinating people by staying near SF on occasion. I'm just in LOVE with the city and always find something new each visit. I prefer to couchsurf with my husband most of the time. He's AWESOME and you would enjoy our company.
Our Children are now adults so we are empty-nesters in a 3 bedroom home. There's plenty of room to share with a CS or two. We plan to travel abroad in the next several years and are planning ahead by paying it forward by hosting CS in our home.

Interests

I'm an outdoor enthusiast who loves to backpack, hike, bike and run long distances. I also enjoy yoga and weightraining. During a typical week I spend 20+ hours outdoors and 10+ preparing meals from.scratch. I am not vegan, but my two daughters are and I enjoy preparing vegan/vegetarian meals in addition to meat and seafood dishes as well. Additionally, I also love to bake and have been a chef and caterer for many years.
