I haven't been everywhere, but it's on my list....

I normally work thur to sun, so rarely host on the weekends, unless I get you settled in before I work. If your coming mid week, please let me know.

I am a botanist, a vegan, a wildlife biologist, a bartender, a writer, a yogi, a solo female traveler, a world explorer, and a general lover of life. I want to do things I've never done, see places I've never seen, force myself outside of my comfort zone and LIVE every day.

I love nature, hiking, mountain biking, beaches, gardening, art, photography, culture, ethnobotany, learning, dancing, volunteering, organic gardening, singing, playing and exploring.

I live in the scenic Columbia River Gorge, in the small, active town of Hood River, Oregon. I am obsessed with travel and try to go international every year. You can read about my adventures on www.lacetacular.com

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting people from all over the world and seeing life through the eyes of locals.

I joined because my friend hosts people and I have really loved getting to meet all of the amazing people she has hosted.

So far I have 'surfed' at a couple of places and have been utterly amazed at the generosity and openness of this community. I am really looking forward to more couchsurfing; making new friends, getting a taste of local life around the world, and opening my home to those visiting 'the hood' when I am not traveling myself.
