This was a hospitality exchange and Sharon was a really lovely host. I enjoyed staying with her and going on tours and sightseeing together. There is so much to see, I loved the cacti in bloom in the desert and birds tweeting their way all around.

I am a retired English teacher, assistant principal, and collegiate women’s basketball coach. I have one daughter and two grandchildren who live nearby in Arizona. I love to hike, play pickleball, swim laps, and eat vegan foods! I also love to explore the natural wonders of the world.
In the United States, I have only lived in three states (Michigan, New Mexico, and Arizona), but I have traveled extensively. I have visited 41 National Parks or Monuments. In recent years, I have traveled internationally to Canada, Mexico, the Netherlands, England, Ireland, Wales, Germany, Croatia, Italy, Austria, and Switzerland.
I do not smoke, vape, or drink alcohol. I am open to traveling with or without my dog (Scout).
