Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Launch two amazing kids into the world and pass on my sense of adventure, discovery and memories to last a lifetime
ABOUT ME
In my early forties with two amazing, bright, wonderful teenagers, I strive to live life fully, explore ideas, places, cultures and adventure together with them as much as we can. The days are long, but the weeks fly by and before I know it, they will be launching out into the world on their own journey.
PHILOSOPHY
Take the road less traveled.
When a door closes it just means you were meant to go a different way - the next step will reveal itself - watch, listen and be open.
Live with grace and gratitude.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I truly enjoy being a part of this community. Experiences/adventures shared in community with others leads to a much more fulfilling life.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Last summer we stayed on a few couches on the US west coast and we have hosted in our home. There have also been many times over the years that I have bunked with people I barely knew and opened my doors the same way. It typically leads to wonderful conversations, friendships and memories.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
It's hard to pinpoint just one, but one of my life's greatest turning points was the more than three months spent in Palenque Mexico where I realized how simple life can be and how much I treasure people and their individuality.
