About Me

CURRENT MISSION

The world's just a-sittin' on an elephant's nose.

ABOUT ME

Grace and Danny are getting married in the Fall. They are moving to Portland, OR in June. Grace is an elementary school teacher and Danny works in technology.

We are easy-going, friendly, considerate people. We also have two dogs (that we wish we could travel with).

PHILOSOPHY

Listen to the MUSTN'TS by Shel Silverstein

Listen to the MUSTN'TS, child,
Listen to the DON'TS
...Listen to the SHOULDN'TS
The IMPOSSIBLES, the WON'TS
Listen to the NEVER HAVES
Then listen close to me---
Anything can happen, child,
ANYTHING can be.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

As newbies to this whole experience, we hope to offer our thoughts, ideas, humor, and friendship to our hosts.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

People sleep on our couch all the time, but we just learned about this website recently. We open our homes to friends, friends of friends, and family as often as we can. In a way we have already been a part of this experience without even knowing about it. Now we look forward to doing some traveling through CS.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Grace taught English to children in Nicaragua for Spring Break.

Danny went to school in Peru for two months.

Teach, Learn, Share

Danny is a web developer, grill-master, gardener and handy with pretty much anything.

Grace is a passionate elementary school teacher, pet lover, and dish-washer-extraordinaire.

Danny and Grace would like to learn more about beers, wines, camping, bicycling, traveling, wood-working, house-building, and more.
