Hi! before i tell you about myself, I want to give you some info that may save time when making a request.... we understand that people who are new to Couchsurfing don't have any references. in the absence of references, we ask that your profile and identity are verified through this website, in order to consider accepting a request to stay. we do not accept requests for more than 2-3days; requests for weeklong, or greater stays, will be declined. please understand that we are not running an Air BnB, that this is our home and respect the above. thanks and safe travels.

And, i need to give credit to Mirna Lazalde, a lovely and talented young lady who stayed with us this summer. She is the artist that painted the watercolor that is our profile photo.

CURRENT MISSION

working hard and planning retirement- hopefully with plenty of travel.

ABOUT ME
i moved to Ketchikan 12 years ago from Pennsylvania. i just needed a change, and i definitely got one. before this i have lived mostly on the east coast NY, NJ and PA but also in MO and AZ.
during my time here i met ted and married in August 2015.
ted and i have really enjoyed our couchsurfers so far- enjoy showing them our little part of Alaska and sharing the things we enjoy with them- hiking, kayaking, beach combing, fishing......

Что привело меня на Couchsurfing

i joined couchsurfing when i was looking for a place to stay in Nome, when i wanted to go see the finish of the iditarod. that didnt work out, but im glad i found the site!
we love our little part of Alaska and enjoy sharing it with others. we really enjoy meeting our couchsurfers- they have all been interesting and pleasant house guests!
in the future we hope to surf ourselves- lots of places we want to see.

Классная вещь, которую я сделал(-а)

i took a chance and moved to Alaska. here i met my husband and we enjoy our lives together- i think thats pretty amazing!

Учу, учусь, делюсь опытом и информацией

i love it when our couchsurfers prepare a meal for us- it gives me an opportunity to learn a new recipe, or way to prepare a meal.
between my husband and i, we have quite a bit of knowledge regarding SE Alaska, and enjoy sharing with those who are travelling through or looking to relocate here.
