ABOUT ME

We are a couple living and working in Portland.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

The very first CS experience was with a German couchsurfer in the UCSC trailer park. He had found himself in the redwoods amongst 30 or so resident students. Even though he was officially hosted by just one of our friends and neighbors, it seemed as if all of the community could share a little part of our home with him.

Also, we have been treated to the company of beautiful and inspiring travelers who have been drawn to the emerald coast in Bretagne.

And Also met many great people people in Germany, France, Belgium and the Netherlands who were very gracious hosts to us.
