CURRENT MISSION

Have fun, be healthy, stay positive.

ABOUT ME

We are warm people that like to have fun especially outside. We like to travel to new places to bike, hike, swim, snowshoe, or cross country ski. At home we like to enjoy our family, cook, play games, bike, play hockey, cross country ski, walk dogs, host friends and laugh a lot.

PHILOSOPHY

We work hard, have fun, and are active members of the community- preferably all three at the same time.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We host lots of friends at our house, especially bicyclists.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Three time couch surfer. Two times before a crazy race that our friends talked us into. Both experiences were like visiting with old friends. Once on my own...couch surfing host turned friend.

Interests

We bicycle with our family and friends, skate ski, play hockey with the kids, walk or snowshoe with our pack of dogs and sometimes with the kids if we can talk them into it.
