Not accepting guests right now as we head into BUSY end of school year and summer days. See you in the Fall!

We live with our 5 children in beautiful Ashland, Oregon with world class theater (seriously!) wineries, and a walkable, cute town. We are just 5 hours from SF and Portland so you should definitely check this town out! We LOVE the theater, music and hiking. Our kids are very musical, so expect impromptu performances during their waking hours lol- We are a pretty busy bunch but happy to share a meal, lend a bike to get to town, and show you around if we are avail!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My sister has been a couch surfer for many years and has shared so many wonderful stories... It just never seemed like something you Do with kids but I'm seeing that's not so true anymore... We would love to have people of other cultures and languages in our home to interact positively with our kids.
