CURRENT MISSION: Adjusting to life with two children.

ABOUT ME: We are a family of four in a fairly small house (1,200 square feet). We have a three year-old son who is lots of fun and a sweet infant daughter.

We are outgoing, intellectually curious, a bit bookish, and very outdoorsy and musical!

We are a family-friendly, gay-friendly, and trans-friendly household. We welcome folks of all races and ethnicities.

Here are some of our favorite things to do: work in our vegetable garden; play with our kids; hike a mountain; cook a meal made from local, seasonal foods; drink wine and swap songs; read aloud; go for a bike ride to the farmers' market; dine at one of Portland's fantastic restaurants; hula hoop under the sun; laugh with friends; drink coffee in bed.

PHILOSOPHY: kindness, kindness, kindness balanced with wisdom/self-awareness.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING: So far, we have only hosted or had a drink with surfers.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

We drove to and from Alaska in the summer of 2010. Leon built the little camper that we slept in every night. It was pretty much the best thing ever.
