CURRENT MISSION

To be free...

ABOUT ME

We're two free-spirited adventurers who are living life to the fullest. We're funny, respectful of others, love the outdoors, rainy days, crazy weather, road trips, hiking, and our adopted furry family members, Hula & Marley.

PHILOSOPHY

Be open to the moment and the precious experiences that life gifts to us all. There are so many caring people in this world to genuinely connect with. Through spending time together and lending helping hands, we expand our awareness and continue to open our hearts and minds.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We just got back from our first surfing adventure in Ireland and it was simply the best experience we could have asked for. Through CS, we were able to meet so many lovely people who opened their homes and lives to us in an intimate way that we had only dreamed of. We are so grateful to be apart of this community.

Music, Movies, and Books

MOVIES
David - I just plain LOVE movies. I'll watch them all and make up my own mind about them.

Carrie - documentaries like Planet Earth (but not when the animals get killed or when the polar bears die because I cry too much), Riding Giants, and Baraka. Also, I really enjoy Contact (especially the opening scene of our galaxy and the universe), Vicky Cristina Barcelona, Romancing the Stone, Happy Accidents, and the creative genius of Pixar. But my all time favorite is still THE GOONIES!

MUSIC
David - I prefer music with English lyrics, but ultimately it's the beat that makes me enjoy it and lifts my spirit up. I love reggae...Bob Marley and his kids, electronic, hip-hop, and songs that take you back in the day.

Carrie - Phat beats...anything that makes me want to move, brings a smile to my face or floats my mind. I love Bob Marley, Bob Sinclar, Royksopp, Mark Farina, Ziggy Marley, Xavier Rudd, Matisyahu, Ben Harper, Jack Johnson, Israel "Iz" Kamakawiwoʻole to name a few.

BOOKS
David - n/a...Well, actually I have started three books in my life and finished one...The Alchemist. If there's a movie about it, I've seen it!

Carrie - I'm always reading at least one book, if not two or three. Here's some of my favorites in no particular order...Awakening to the Sacred, Awakening the Buddha Within, The Art of Happiness, The Power of Now, Eat Pray Love, An Open Heart, Vagabonding, The Alchemist, Celestine Prophecy, Voluntary Simplicity, Seven Spiritual Laws of Success, and Eddie Would Go.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing and memorable experience that we've had together was in 2007 when we WWOOFed throughout the Hawaiian Islands for three months and eloped on Waimanalo beach.

Teach, Learn, Share

David loves to share his extensive movie collection, can teach you how to properly maintain your car, snowboarding if availible, and how to make killer BBQ chicken (not my recipe).

Carrie can help you to improve your English, teach you how to make some healthy Spanish dishes, take you hiking around our mountains, and teach you some mat pilates workouts, how to organize.
