CURRENT MISSION

finishing up a Peace Corps tour of ZAMBIA

ABOUT ME

Scott has lived in Yakima since 1999 and Gina has lived here since 2008. We have truly enjoyed living in a rural village in Zambia since 2011, but will be glad to get back to Yakima this winter. AND now we are now both semi-fluent in Lunda, which unfortunately wasn't on the language selector.

PHILOSOPHY

Walk lightly on the earth. Smile and laugh often.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We've hosted three groups of couchsurfers in America before we left for Zambia, and Gina stayed with one in Canada. Other than that, we're pretty new.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Heard about it from friends/family and interested in participating.

Interests

We are outdoor enthusiasts, gardeners, and LOVE making breakfast with local eggs and milk. We like making music on our drums and riding our bikes around Yakima. We also won't pass up a good wine and a game of Scrabble. We like to swing dance and salsa dance. We like skiing, backpacking, and rock climbing. Interests in Zambia include learning the local culture.

Teach, Learn, Share

Scott can teach you the basic rhythms on the djembe.
