Overview
About Me
My husband and I have been traveling around the US looking for steady work, and (let's admit it) our own version of paradise. We haven't quite found it yet.
He's a software engineer (Java and Android), and I'm a fiber artist.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
We moved to Florida (from Portland) about six months ago, because my husband needed work, and he had a final interview here. He took the job, but now it's become clear that Florida isn't paradise for Fiber artists OR software engineers.
In short- we need to move back to a tech hub and artsy city.
We miss the scenery, the people, the bike scene, the coffee, and the work opportunities that the PNW offers.

Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach you to knit. I'm learning to play ukulele, and would be happy to teach you a few chords.
What I Can Share with Hosts
