I’m a mid-40’s woman with lots of love and appreciation for travel, cultural sharing, hospitality exchange, and breaking bread together. In my early 20’s I helped manage a hostel, and it’s a dream to own and operate my own one day. I’m a reader, enjoy walking my dog, cooking, growing a garden, and creating art. I believe going more slowly, whether that’s walking instead of driving or driving instead of planes is the best way to experience and learn more of what’s around you. My work life has been a mix of roles in not-for-profit settings, and I also am a bodyworker.
