Description
Hello! We are the Woodruffs from Corvallis, Oregon!
David (mid-50s) works as a scientist (forest ecophysiology) for the USDA Forest Service. He has a lot of experience with DIY and home improvement/renovation as well as gardening, and is excited about the idea of helping people improve their place. When he is not working, he enjoys reading, staying physically active and spending time with family and friends. He speaks some French and a little Spanish.
Karrie (mid-50s) is a high school ESL teacher in Oregon (USA). Teaching is her passion, and she loves to discuss teaching philosophy and approaches to get new ideas, and share her own. She is skilled at creative endeavors, home improvement projects, cleaning, organization and event planning. More importantly, she is flexible and willing to try new things. In her free time, Karrie loves thrifting/antique stores, fashion, reading, going to cafes, bakeries and restaurants. She is fluent in Spanish and an enthusiastic beginner of French.
Our daughter, Sylvia (17), will be traveling with us. She is personable and friendly, especially good with kids, dogs and horses. She is passionate about learning about the world. She enjoys riding horses, skiing, exercising, and listening to music. Sylvia speaks some Spanish and is working on her French (beginner). -
