My husband and I now live in Vashon Island WA. Accessible by water taxi or walk/drive on ferry from West Seattle Fauntleroy or by Point Defiance Tacoma from the South end. $5.50 passenger and approximately $25 by car plus 5.50 for each additional passenger. Our place is a quiet little getaway from the craziness of Seattle. Matt is a software developer who writes application(s) for iPhone. I am a returning student at Seattle University after quitting my job as a medical assistant. We had a starter home in West Seattle and felt it was time to move to a more peaceful home on much larger land to create a healthier home life for ourselves and our dogs.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

Providing an exchange of opportunity to explore and experience culture when making traveling expenses for overnight stays minimal just makes sense.

Morceaux de musique, films et livres

I've seen Dave Matthews Band in California, Chicago, Indiana, New York. I've seen Phish in CA, New York, Michigan, Ohio, Indiana. and Wisconsin. I've attended several years of Detroit Movement Festival. My husband and I are regulars at the Paramount theater in Seattle. We attend several musical events a month locally. My dream is to build an outdoor theater on my property to bring members of the Vashon community together sharing a common love of live music.

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

Actually quitting my job to go back to college again is pretty brave in the middle of the economic financial crisis.

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

Matt and I volunteer for a great organization called Outdoors For All. We teach kids and adults with disabilities how to ski and snowboard. I have participated in contributing much of my time in the community assisting with daily operations at the local food bank and the Roots Homeless youth shelter in the University District.
