Your Host

Dating After Death

I'm hosting this trip for a few reasons. The first is that I love this community and I'm excited to actually meet as many of you in person as I can! The second is because I LOVE to travel. Since my husband died, I've found such joy in seeing new places around the world and I want to help facilitate that for others! Let's get this adventure started!
