About Me

Please note - I am Happily Married and I am NOT interested in hooking up. Also IF you are NOT verified I will automatically decline your offer:request and will not respond to any messages. Thank you kindly** ————————— • • I have surfed more than what my profile shows and have been hosted but we did it under my Husband’s (Joey Ramon - you can find him in my CS friends) Surfing account 💁🏻 I am a Gym rat who loves to travel Solo OR with my Newly Wed Husband - Joey. **I do not drink or smoke. I do not eat red meat, or rather I do not eat mammals.... 😂 I eat fish and poultry/fowl (chicken, turkey). I know it’s weird but it’s just who I am 🙃** • • I am the mother of a wonderful young man who is also my best friend and makes me proud to be his mom. When I got married he felt it was time for him to spread his wings and fly, it made me happy and sad at the same time. At least he is off living life the best that he can. • • I have plans to start law school in Fall if 2020 so I’m taking every chance I have before then to travel and explore as much of the world as possible. Here I come world!!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We love to travel and meet new people. You can't do that locked in a hotel room by yourself.

Couchsurfing gives you a whole different experience then if you were to stay in a resort and pay for an all inclusive trip. It’s nice to go where the locals go, interact and do things not so much as a tourist. I like to do this here when I travel in the US too!

When you meet and stay with people who live where you travel to you get kind of a behind the scenes kind of experience.

Interests

I am a very health conscience individual. I work out everyday of the week, if not at the gym here at home in my garage gym. I like to cook most, if not all my meals. I have 3 dogs who I love so very much. They are all indoor dogs. **if you have a dog allergy you may not want to stay with us, they are on the couch and go upstairs, they go everywhere in the house** I love to get the dogs out and about in the city OR stay home and cuddle on the couch while watching a movie. I love to explore the city I currently live in as I have only been here a few years, still learning much about it.

Music, Movies, and Books

Racing in the Rain - on audio..... while listening with my Joey; Atlas Shrugged; Like Water for Chocolate; The Four Agreements..... I honest have a list to long to list all the books I have read and truly enjoy reading over and over again.


As for music just recently I got into country, I blame my husband for that. I am a lover of all music - EDM, House, Soul, Jazz, Spanish/Latin, Rock.....


If we want to talk movies there aren’t many I haven’t seen. I try to expand my horizons by watching movies in other languages even if it means reading subtitles. I will admit though I am a sci-fi geek, love action movies and not much into horror movies.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travel AROUND the World in 60 days All by Myself! 😍😍 Looking forward to my next adventure


Get married in a whim in the Cayman Islands and traveling to Cuba a day later to explore the country.


Being a Single Mom until I recently got married. Ok ok so he’s 22 now BUT for 20 years I was a single mom who loved to travel with her kid any where And every where we could. I miss these trips 💜 hopefully one day we can travel again

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to teach people about self love and care. This is done by nurturing - mind, body and soul. Diet is not just about what you eat but about what you allow yourself to take in on a daily basis. You can not surround yourself with negative people and be happy. You need to have happy in your life to help with the Happy! Our mindset every day will set our day for us. Always try to keep a positive mindset especially on those harder days.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My knowledge of working out, nutritious yet bland meals (lol), things to do, places to go, places to avoid, safe place to stay with lots of dog kisses, and good company.
