NOTE:
We only host surfers who have positive feedback from other surfers they have hosted.

ABOUT US
My wife and I had three teenagers that we took around the world. We played instruments, juggled, joked, and other things to spread joy and peace. Now we are empty nester, public school teachers.

PHILOSOPHY
I was put here by God to encourage others to love and good deeds. Providing random acts of kindness is my delight.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I visited with a blind, cripple beggar on some back street near Lisbon, Portugal. After a while I asked him if he was mad at God about his situation. He repeated an emphatic "no", and started crying. He said his friends and family had abandoned him but not his God. I told him his faith was inspirational and should share his story with others. Fernando said he tries but people are too busy to stop and visit.
