Lives in Mariposa, California
Hello! We are a married couple who moved from the hustle and bustle of San Francisco for a quieter, more balanced lifestyle that Mariposa was able to offer. We have two fantastic children together and an energetic dog. We enjoy traveling and immersing ourselves in different cultures to gain a wider awareness of our world. In hosting, we appreciate being able to meet so many interesting people and want to provide a truly exceptional Yosemite experience. In addition to hosting and managing vacation rentals, Tchukon is a local real estate agent, so if you’re interested in making Mariposa your home, ask him about properties for sale; Carolyn is a Nurse Practitioner, currently taking a break from practicing to raise our young kids.
