About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Live in love, peace and joy, and pass it along

ABOUT ME

My husband Bruce and I love to travel, especially to wild remote landscapes or places with cultures much different from ours. Over the past 10 years, we've spent most of our time in wander mode with South America as our main focus. We say we're really ready to settle down.

But first...we want to experience Spain! Three months doesn't seem enough, and we're already resigned to always having a hankering to return.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We had been couchsurfing hosts in Crested Butte, CO. When we return to the US, we will make a home somewhere in the mountains of the Pacific Northwest where couchsurfers will once again be welcome.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

The best part of traveling is the people you meet, really meet, along the way. I've been fortunate to have met great people as a host and a surfer.

Music, Movies, and Books

Rock, blues, Latina, accoustic

I generally like reading books that put me in a time or place, and foreign literature to get a sense of how other people from other cultures express themselves.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Walking through fields of wildflowers, marveling at glacial formations and dense starry skies, descending into remote canyons and caves, scuba

Teach, Learn, Share

Want to practice your English? Need travel advice? Hmm, what else...maybe we could just share some good times.

Bruce can offer up his cooking and computer skills.
