About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To live a simple, nomadic life.

ABOUT ME

Ahnna:
A brown haired, green eyed tree hugger who enjoys painting with watercolors, going to musical theatre performances, and participating in renaissance faires. A sucker for cute, furry, animals who would go crazy in a completely technical, 'star treck', no nature sort of world.
Chris:
A Student of life and philosophy who enjoys the confrontation of ideas in an open minded positive setting. A massage therapist by profession trained in western medical modalities as well as Hawaiian LomiLomi and Thai massage. A True Wanderer in spirit, all about the journey, not the destination.

PHILOSOPHY

"The purpose of life is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience." Elenore Roosevelt

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We love meeting new people and hearing all about their travel history and many interests. When living in Busan, South Korea we hosted many people in Chris's two bedroom apartment. We hitch-hiked and couch-surfed our way around Europe and some of South East Asia meeting amazing people along the way. Now we are back in Korea and ready to host again!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We've had many surfers stay with us and have surfed a couple couches ourselves.
