About Me

I'm from Seattle and can probably tell you a place you would want to go, or join you there too. I love to travel and when I'm at home, the next best thing is hosting travelers.

My other home is in Spokane where I currently reside. My husband and I are on 15 acres and love to be outside. I think I can only take guests that would have a car - there is no bus system here and your trip might not be as interesting staying here! But you can always message me, happy to host those just passing through too.

Love, Respect, Carpe diem!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Stayed in Amsterdam with a film maker, who showed us an amazing pancake house and a bike ride past the canals. It was a completely different experience of the city, staying with a creative local. Now I have my own place in Seattle and a home in Spokane. Paying it forward.

Hiking, anything outdoors really

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sunset in Wadi Rum, Jordan. Semuc Champey in Guatemala. Staying on a permaculture game on Omepete Island, Nicaragua.

Teach, Learn, Share

I make costumes for theaters in Seattle. It's nice to be creative in my work. I am always happy to sew, showing someone or I can do small jobs for you!
I love to garden, I am not particularly the best but happy to help with this.

What I Can Share with Hosts

For Spokane area/Cheney -
We have 2 guest rooms and extra bathroom just for guests! We are happy to host, though it is very important you have a car to get around if you'd like to see the area!

For when I'm working and staying at my place in Seattle -
Sometimes I have my extra room and bathroom with a full bed, or at least a pull out couch! Let me know your plans for the day if you can. Sometimes I am busy working but can join you if my schedule is flexible. Please share your experiences and pictures. I may not be able to host you longer than the days you request, so please be aware and make sure you check the dates you are staying, thanks!
