CURRENT MISSION

Travel the world and leave it better than before I arrived. Be the good American not the stereotype.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Since 1992, I have been to over 90 countries as a backpacker. My husband has been to over 70. Can't even begin to count how many hostel dorm rooms we have stayed in.

教，学，和分享

We have some really cool travel stories, including my stay in a Malawian hospital with malaria, year in Africa, and driving around the US by myself.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

If you need parking, we are not the hosts for you. Parking in our neighborhood is an absolute nightmare. We have a one bedroom apartment in downtown Portland. We have a couch and a recliner in the living room that you are welcome to. Our apartment complex is very strange about guest being in the building when we are not so you have to leave while we are at work. Generally 7:30 to 4:00 weekdays. We are pretty laid back. Portland has a no smoking in building laws so you have to smoke whatever you are smoking outside.
