CURRENT MISSION

To get the most out of my travel through meeting the "real" people who live in the destinations to which I am traveling.

ABOUT ME

I am a fun-loving, adventurous lady who enjoys travel, good food, good beer/wine and good conversation.

I am the owner of a small start-up company in Portland, OR. We are a creative firm, designing and building many unique things.

I live with four other roomates, three cats and two ferrets.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe in working hard to be able to play hard. I love both.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have always hosted many travelers and I am now continuing to officially do it through hosting couch surfers.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My family has always "couch surfed" as we have relatives all over the country. Even as a young child, vacation always included be hosted in someone's home (usually Amish homes because of my Mennonite background) and then in turn hosting the visitors when they came our way. I loved meeting other people from different parts of the country and I loved having guests! I still do!
