We are happy and relaxed people. We love to cook our own food, leave things better than we found them, and always give thanks. We live in Seattle, Washington, USA right now. We have lived here for about 2 years and we love exploring the food, people, mountains, and dancing that Seattle has to offer. The rain is challenging at times, especially when we think about our beautiful Midwestern winters.
Both of us work in Community Health Centers (Medical clinics that serve everyone regardless of ability to pay). We work with people with chronic conditions and do care coordination, wellness coaching, health education, goal setting etc.
This spring we are planning to travel to South America and Europe to visit friends and take advantage of some free time before we enter medical school.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

To meet people, to learn from them, to hear their stories, to share and visit, to take part in a community of like-minded people, to get more value out of traveling than seeing landmarks, to participate in personal and cultural exchange, to support a world-view valuing inter-personal interaction and exchange.

Intereses

Gardening, we have made an urban garden in our backyard in Seattle, complete with a cool pea-vine wall :)
Low environmental impact - we work hard to live in a low-impact way that leaves mostly positive effects from each and every action.
Cross-country skiing - Molly is a highschool ski coach and loves to be out on the trails in the woods with nothing to hear but snow falling.
Mountaineering, hiking, camping, biking, kayaking, reading, eating tasty-healthy-quality (mostly vegetarian) food....

We got married! May 2014 :)

Enseña, aprende, comparte

Wanna share recipes, cooking techniques, life experiences ?

Qué puedo ofrecer a los anfitriones

We will always arrive with open hearts and minds. If anyone wants to practice their Spanish - we speak it often at work and love to have a chance to speak in a non-clinical context. We love to cook and can usually offer something for every diet. We would love to be as connected or lightly attached as you would like when we visit - maximum interaction or privacy just let us know :)
