I'm originally from Alaska and appreciate the great outdoors - hiking, skiing, you name it.

My husband and I move to a new country every few years. We have lived in Panama and China and are now excited to be in Mongolia. Panama had some amazing beaches and coffee. We fell in love with Sichuan food while in China. We're looking forward to discovering more of Mongolia's natural beauty!

I previously worked with international exchange students for almost 7 years and have really loved meeting people from all over the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet some great people!
