Goal: Attract European Visitors

Five years after finishing my master’s program I finally got my first visitor – Bettina! I knew this would be my big chance to woo more friends across the Atlantic so we went for it. In just three days we saw Portland, Eugene, Crater Lake, Redding, and San Francisco. We also had some real cultural experiences.



Bettina’s first – and last – corn dog. Yum.



Our biking adventure ended in hitch hiking. Bettina experienced some real American hospitality – or pity depending how you look at it.





In the last year, David has not only become even more handsome, but also a certified sailor. I discovered that I’m actually pretty bad at it but man it’s fun and exciting.
