I run a festival based food restaurant during the summer. The winters I spend in Europe, mostly in Spain. I also like to do ceramic arts and make mosaics as a hobby.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would like to host travelers at my house in Eugene as well as become a couch surfer when I travel in Europe and the Americas. I can host people who can stay in a tent...we live in a tiny house but have a big garden.
