The travel bug bit me as a kid moving around: Florida, California and Japan. I am currently a Girl Scout Leader for middle and high school girls and a career coach for high school students. I have enjoyed introducing low-cost travel to my GS community via youth hostels and camping. My husband and I have an "empty nest" and enjoy a variety of community service activities together. I'm a kid at heart and am happy near, on, or in the water. The nearest bus stop is http://trimet.org/#tracker/stop/3407 please map out where you would like to visit before you send a request.

我为什么使用Couchsurfing
My daughter (https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/jcollins53) introduced me to couch surfing when she planned a trip to Europe a few years back. Although I was skeptical at first, I've enjoyed hearing her travel stories and have appreciated the kindness of strangers who have helped her out along the way! Since then my husband (https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/pol.collins) and I have hosted several people formally and a few informally and I now realize what an opportunity this is to meet people and get a more genuine experience of a community. I had a great trip to Europe and couch surfed in London, Berlin and Athens.
音乐、电影与书籍
Book: Laudato Si Music: I enjoy listening to the music on the NPR show, "The World" Movies: I don't watch many, but I loved, "UP"
我做过的一件令人惊叹的事
Climbed part of the Great Wall of China, watched the sunrise from Mt. Fugi and hiked to Iceburg Lake in Glacier National Park, Kalaupapa National Park in Hawaii and Phantom Ranch in the Grand Canyon. I also helped groups of young women plan a trips to San Francisco, Seattle, Olympic National Park, Crater Lake National Park, San Juan National Park, Wallowa State Park, Canada,Costa Rica and Belize
教学、学习、分享
I love learning about people, their strengths and interests and hearing about their career paths. I have also found that getting lost is often more fun than the direct route.

A silly joke, a game of cards, and some stories of adventures.
