ABOUT ME

My best friends are ages 3 to 86. I hope they'd say I'm fun, creative, adventurous, resourceful, with a wide range of talents and abilities.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first experience was way before the site existed in Leavenworth, WA...1981. It snowed 2.5 ft. in a few hours, everyone was getting stuck and pushing each other out, we had no place to stay and met a guy at a church who gave us his living room floor to sleep on...and fixed breakfast.
Hospitality

Interests

I've been a professional outdoor guide and instructor for 24 years, whitewater rafting, sea kayaking, x-c skiing, hiking, horseback riding. I also mountain bike and back country ski. After five whiplash injuries and misdiagnosed Lyme, I'm learning how to heal and do more of what I love again.
