My husband Cory and I are both Special Education Teachers. We love being active. We have been married for almost 6 years. Our interests include hiking, exercise, sports, backpacking, and new adventures. We try to travel as much as we can when we are not coaching and teaching.

We are now a family of 21! We have 8 chickens, 8 ducks, 2 geese and a bunny!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We are always looking for an adventure in another place. We love helping people when we can. We always enjoy going on new adventures and working for the school district gives us amazing freedom that allows time to travel a fair amount.

We want to see the world and don't care to stay in a hotel. We believe that where you go, the people you meet, and the things you see is what makes vacations and holidays so great.

Interests

My husband and I play volleyball when we get the chance. My husband grew up wrestling and he is the current head wrestling coach at the Camas High School. My husband has also done Professional Mixed Martial Arts & Boxing. I am the assistant wrestling coach for the girls wrestling team at Camas High School. I am also the head Special Olympics Soccer coach (Unified Soccer) for Camas High School.

We both really enjoy hiking, cycling, camping, hanging out on the beach, and playing board games.

I really enjoy reading as well.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

During our second summer as a married couple we visited Kauai for 30 days. We did not get a hotel during our entire stay. We stayed at local campgrounds and with some locals we met. During our time there we got to hike the Kalalau Trail and slept under the stars on the Napali Coast. Amazing!

In 2015 we camped and backpacked around Mexico, Belize, and Guatemala for 30 days. It was great!

In 2016 we traveled to Aruba for 17 days. We also backpacked around Europe for 35 days

In 2017 we traveled to SE Asia for 50 days. Our best and most memorable trip yet.
In 2017 we will spend 50 days in Asia! SO excited!

What I Can Share with Hosts

We love board games if anyone ever wants to play. We are also very open, inquisitive minded, and respectful of others and their opinions. We can share a good bar of dark chocolate too ;) or ice cream if you fancy that. We can also offer a place to stay if our host ever travels to the Portland, Oregon area.
