About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To spread a new concept of the traveling American.

ABOUT ME

I moved to Mexico a couple of years ago and can host here.

I've traveled and moved around since I was very young. In 2006 I traveled for almost eight months in South America and Africa. In 2007 I spent five months in Europe.

I like to volunteer at orphanages for a couple of weeks on each trip and so far have done this in Tanzania and Albania.

I'm a woman in her 70's who's been living in Mexico for the past couple of years. I miss the north Bay area and will return for a visit later in May.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is an advenure.
