Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We love to travel and visit with other travelers. The best experiences we've had in our travels was with locals who invited us into their homes sharing meals and stories.

Interests

I've fallen in love with traditional music and I'm learning to play the fiddle. We foster dogs through a local rescue organization.
