CURRENT MISSION

Less status quo. More fantastic-ness.

ABOUT ME

Aviation professional that loves to travel with my wife.
That's Conor's line...he's more quiet in writing than Stormy, but opposite in person.
We are huge fans of helping in little ways because we understand that a good life as a whole is comprised of many small things put together. Offering a couch/spare bedroom is a small thing we can do to help make folks' travels go a little smoother.
Be fairly warned that Conor is significantly more socially outgoing than Stormy, but she can at least hold a decent conversation during a hike or over dinner.

PHILOSOPHY

Insert a big "hmm" here for now.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We've relocated back to the Pacific Northwest, and are excited to resume hosting again at our new home.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

This is my/our first official foray into couchsurfing. We've each been individually picking up hitchhikers for years with luckily no problems ever, and occasionally letting folks stay over as needed.

Interests

The not-necessarily-all-inclusive list: aviation, mountaineering, skiing, fly-fishing, beer, whiskey, family, friends, ADV moto, good fiction, terrible movies, hiking, bicycling, coffee, more coffee, tiny houses, hot springs, and generalized shenanigans. We're both working hard to learn some spanish. We bought our own first home together last year, and spend a lot of time getting our little homestead up and running.

Music, Movies, and Books

Catch-22 (read it, and you'll never be quite the same again)
Confederacy of Dunces
anything Vonnegut
Fierce Invalids Home From Hot Climates (but not much else by Robbins)
nursing textbooks
Johnny Cash
dessert cookbooks
The Illumination
outdoor/travelogue/adventure/disaster.
Any hugely overbudgeted action movie with a lot of explosions and fifth grade-reading level dialogue.
Conor reads non-fiction. Stormy's not so much a fan.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Great travels in Europe
Great travels in Asia
Great times hosting folks in the US.
Stormy grew up on the Pacific ocean, tragically taking that for granted. She realized her folly a couple years ago upon moving to Colorado, which apparently doesn't have an ocean attached to its left side.

Teach, Learn, Share

Origami crane folding. It makes you feel calm in ten minutes.
Bourbon/scotch appreciation 101.
Graduate level stovetop espresso making.
Stormy would love to learn how cook actual meals that require more complexity than scrambling eggs or boiling water.
