My husband and I recently moved out to Kings Valley in Oregon. We love it here and also love traveling. I work for one of our local organic farms and sell produce at our farmer's market.

I am involved in the organic farming movement and trying to save the world in that manor. I believe education is the tool that gives people the power to change their lives for the better.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

When I was on my semester in NZ and the through the rest of my travels last year I spent more wonderful time couchsurfing then doing any other activity. I have hosted a number of people in Covallis and have enjoyed getting around town with folks to show them where I live.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Has been lovely! I hosted a most fabulous gentleman before I left home for my year long traveling adventure and have couchsurfed in Australia several times and once in South Korea where I saw a tiny, tiny washing machine built right into the kitchen! Who would have thought that was possible? I also have been hosted in New Zealand by a pair of crazy kids who played tag with me in a park. There were only three of us so the running was a tad like excessive but we had a great time.

Interests

I like tea, food preservation, driving tractors, hiking in the woods, foraging for fruits and wild mushrooms, organic farming, reading novel adventure books. I also want to learn to fish this summer in Alaska.

Music, Movies, and Books

Darwin's the Voyage of the Beagle, The Principles of Soil Science. Sometimes I tote around history books on world politics but my reading of them is slow at best. I also enjoy music of all kinds and like taking myself out for dates to the movies.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Attending the rising of the sun with the Sun Worshipers on a mountain in Bulgaria rates pretty high.

Teach, Learn, Share

I've found that going for a walk in the evening helps reduce stress and gets my family ready for a nice evening together.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Cute baby time and cooking. I love to make simple and good food for people.
