CURRENT MISSION

To share the magic of life's adventures with other adventurous life lovers!

ABOUT ME

We are a fun-loving, adventurous couple from Portland, Oregon. We love our city, we love sharing it with our family, friends, and strangers, and we get out into the open air as often as possible. Rachel is working toward being a Montessori preschool teacher and Betsy is a massage therapist. We dream of traveling and learning for the rest of our lives, and are always building toward the happiness of our future family and home. We're madly in love and continue through the years to inspire each other to better ourselves and fully love the earth and its people.

PHILOSOPHY

Love! Listening. Common Sense. Hugs.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We find great satisfaction in providing a warm bed and a peaceful place to wake to anyone in need. Visitors give us even more reason to explore our city and countryside and revel in its beauty and opportunity. We have mostly invited in each other's family and friends, but on our travels have been so blessed to meet incredible people, and are so open to providing for anyone who needs it.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None of it has been organized on couchsurfing.com, but we have both been incredibly blessed by strangers and friends alike in ways of hospitality. That's part of what makes it so fun to host others! We're looking forward to what magic the internet can bring. :)

Interests

Hiking, biking, yoga, reading, lazing in the sun, the river, music, dancing, laughing, adventuring, eating, hugs.
