CURRENT MISSION

share the adventure and joys of biketravelling with our children and discover new places and people

ABOUT ME

We are a family of four; we have a 14-yr old daughter, Tessa, and 16-year old son, Caleb. We love traveling and meeting new people (we really do).

PHILOSOPHY

We want to leave the world a better place than it was when we got here, and enjoy ourselves along the way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

hosting and surfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We have surfed as a family when travelling by bike, first from Montreal to Quebec City and back in the summer of 2009, and then the summer of 2013 we stayed with folks in Austria, Slovakia, Germany, Switzerland, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Denmark. We haven't done as much hosting as surfing (Roanoke is an under-rated tourist destination). We value each and every hosting and surfing experience we have had.

Interests

green living, movies, music, books, games (Angela has a particular weakness for Texas Hold'em), politics, learning, cycling and cycle-touring, hiking, camping, cooking

All four of us love books, but it's the kids who seem to be doing the most reading these days.

Teach, Learn, Share

hmmm.... We know some stuff about frugal living, green living, homeschooling. Caleb knows lots about history, and can talk for hours if he has a willing listener. All four of us are avid learners, and value the chance to learn from our guests and hosts.
