We're a couple who've been best friends and partners since 2007. We currently reside in Austin, TX. Annie draws and paints and likes to crochet and read. Phil plays guitar and reads a whole lot.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To make new friends from new and exciting places! To learn from traveling teachers, to gain insight from creative lovers of earth and to see it for ourselves.

Interests

Music : Phil plays and we both enjoy it. We're currently working on some interesting songs with our roommate Vera. Always open to new musical suggestions ... Art: Annie paints and illustrates and we both draw for fun. Can't wait to see some great galleries on our travels ... Reading: Books have always meant a lot to us both individually. We love to read and swap books ... Nature: Annie has volunteered at a wildlife rescue shelter and we both love to hike and camp. Birding is another recent hobby that we've picked up. We have bird feeders all around the house
