ABOUT ME

I live on the Oregon coast, teach 4 and 5 year olds at a small, private school in a valley up the road from the waves of the Pacific. Marine Corps brat, grew up all over, especially east coast of the United States and Cairo, Egypt. Fluent in English, and am learning to get by in Spanish. I love traveling, art (seeing and creating) photography, nature, coffee, wine and chocolate, veggies...

PHILOSOPHY

In the great and loving graces of God... With a lively sense of love, humor, camaraderie with others on this planet, knowing that we're all doing the very best we can MOST of the time.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would love to host someone who is traveling up or down the west coast of the United States! And I'm looking for places to stay while I travel in eastern Europe in a couple of weeks. I land in Zurich on the 18th, and will probably head out on a train on the 20th or 21st of December. My ultimate desire is to stand in front of the Hagia Sophia in Istanbul, but I also want to explore other cities, towns and countrysides on my way there.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Zero, zip, nada.
