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.

Interests

Love to write, listen to music, sing, and travel.

  • singing
  • flying
  • traveling
  • music

Music, Movies, and Books

Eclectic musical tastes - Acoustic, Blues, Jazz, World music. We love movies and TV shows. We are big on reading too.

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.
