About Me

I'm a stay at home mom and travel enthusiast! My hubs, son, and I recently moved abroad and are enjoying our new beautiful city.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Since we travel so often, it would be wonderful to generate some good karma! We have had friend be hosted by couch surfers and said it was a wonderful time; they shared dinner, travel tips, and made new friends. I thought, this sounds great, I would love to meet more locals when I'm abroad and get all the inside info.
I really do not plan to use couch surfing when we're traveling as a family but for solo trips or trips with friends.
However, we wanted to open our home to travelers and provide a safe, comfortable, and fun place for them to stay!
